That CPU is 6th generation Intel and MS currently only has 8th generation and above on their CPU list. *Sad
I have the same issue here.

I just ran WhyNotWin 11 on my Acer Spin i7 laptop. Everything passed except the CPU compatibility. It shows a ! mark. My laptop has a i7-6500U running @ 2.50 GHz. It has 2 cores and 4 threads so I don't see why I can't run Windows 11 on it. PC Health Checks still says I can't run Win 11 on this desktop.
