Windows 10: Why is my processor ineligible to upgrade to Windows 11? It meets the stated requirements.

Processor IntelR CoreTM i7-6700T CPU @ 2.80GHz 2.80 GHz Installed RAM 16.0 GB 15.9 GB usable System type 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor Pen and touch Touch support with 10 touch points

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?

 

The Ryzen 5 2500U processor seems to meet Windows 11 requirements but isn't on the list of supported processors, why is this processor excluded?

The Ryzen 5 2500U processor seems to meet Windows 11 requirements but isn't on the list of supported processors, will the list of be updated to include the Ryzen5 2500U, if not, what is the reason for exclusion?

 

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?
