Windows 10: Windows 11 and our CPU

Hi all,I've come to realize that my super-fast, gaming and audio recording studio computer will not run Windows 11 because my CPU is "only" an Intel 7700 processor, which is not on the MS "elite group" of processors. My friend has a far lesser computer with laughable specs but the right processor. He gets his Windows 11 for free.So, what gives with MS and their seemingly arbitrary choice of who's processor meets their impeccable standards? How can an "Intel i7-7700 CPU @ 3.60GHz 3.60 GHzn" CPU capable of recording 10 tracks of audio at the same time, NOT be able to handle Windows 11? Is MS in

Windows 11 supported CPU confusion

When your computer failed the PC HealthCheck app, it takes you to the Windows 10 CPU list.

This is the Windows 11 CPU, it doesn't have your CPU listed.

Windows 11 not accepting my Athalon 3000G processor which is an approved cpu

I upgraded my motherboard, CPU and memory to meet the requirements based on Windows 11 approved list yet windows 10, PC Health Check and installing manually per Microsoft supports suggestions doesn't recognize my AMD Athlon 3000G processor as an approved CPU. Has Microsoft provided a fix for this yet? Any suggestions?

Thanks
