Windows 10: Windows 11 and Intel i7-7700HQ - Pc Health Check Says NOT Compatible - MS Compatibility...

Anyone have the answer? I want to install Windows 11 on my Older Gaming PC which sports an old intel i7-7700HQ cpu running @ 2.80Ghz. The only incompatibility issue with Windows 11 appears to be the CPU - which is listed on the Windows 11 CPU sompatibility website the PC Health tool takes you to when it determines your system is not compatible with Windows 11. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/design/minimum/windows-processor-requirements

PC Health Check - Windows 11

So I downloaded the PC Health Check app on my Laptop to see if it will run Windows 11 and the message says "This PC can't run Windows 11". So my question is, will there be a workaround to bypass that when Windows 11 comes available to download? I just think that's dumb that it's not compatible, considering this computer is less than a year old. Laptop in reference is an HP 255 G7.
