Windows 10: Why are older processors meeting the Win 11 upgrade requirements not included in the list?

I just used the PC Health Check App to check for eligibility, and the i7-6700HQ has TPM 2.0, 4 cores and secure boot enabled. Why is this model not supported? Even though it's not among the newer models, I don't see any reason for not letting us upgrade.

Processor deemed incompatible with Win 11 upgrade is LISTED in the list of supported intel processors,

I tried upgrading to Win 11. The message stated my PC does not meet the current requirements for Win 11 upgrade because of my processor. However my processor - Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-6820HQ CPU @ 2.70GHz 2.71 GHz - is listed in the supported processor list on Microsoft website. What gives?

 

Why can't my Processor meet requirement for a Win 11 Upgrade ???

I'm confused about a notification from Microsoft about upgrading to win 11. The notification said my PC doesn't meet a requirement which makes 0 sense. It says my CPU isn't on an approved list of CPUs. But my processor is crazy fast. How is this possible?

Below is a screenshot of what it claims I require although again it makes 0 sense. Can someone tell me if this is a joke from Microsoft or is this a mistake? Is win 11 all that and better than 10?

 

Win11 Pro approved processor list

My Computer is less than 1 year old with an AMD processor that meets the performance requirements for Win 11 but my processor (AMD Pro A10-9700 R7 is not listed in your approved list. When will Microsoft include my processor on the approved list for upgrading from Win 10 Pro to Win 11 Pro ?
