Windows 10: Windows 11 upgrade option disappeared on 7700's

So earlier this week I heard that Windows 11 cpu list got an update. I looked and checked and my 7700 was now supported. I talked to a friend and he said, yeah, it's prompting him that windows 11 is ready to install, but was also going to wait. So I fired up the old system I have and let window 10 do some updates and prompted me that windows 11 was ready and could be installed. I didn't have the time to sit through the install and decided I'd wait to the weekend. Here is the weekend and trying to upgrade, and all the options are gone! I went back to check the list like I did earlier in the wee

Windows 11 not compatable with i7-7700

I already reviewed the list of intel supported processors for Windows 11 and used the feedback hub.

I was just looking for information on why the i7-7700 CPU's are not compatible with Windows 11, or is it still being tested.

 

Windows 11 not compatable with i7-7700

PC Health check says my "Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-7700 CPU @ 3.60GHz" is not compatible with Windows 11.

Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-7700 CPU @ 3.60GHz 3.60 GHz
System type 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor
Edition Windows 10 Pro
Version 21H1

Will Windows 11 support this processor in the near future? Why are older/lower performing processors supported?

 

windows 11 support for i7-7700

I am also very angry at MS with this unreasonable and not understandable policy. I have the same CPU with this questioner, and my PC is still very fast enough with TPM 2.0. Please let us understand why I7 7700 (which is faster than 8th generation i3 or many i5 CPUs) cannot be upgraded to the Windows 11.
