    I have a 6700HQ, which easily meets the minimum requirements, but is not on the list of supported processors.  Why is there an arbitrary list of supported processors? it doesnt make sense to exclude a processor that is certainty capable of running the new OS.  

    I was unable to find out why my PC was not being supported for windows 11, I have a TPM 2.0, DirectX 12, 16GB of Ram, 256GB NVMe drive, Secure Boot is enable , Bios is UEFI , 1080p display.  The Processor is a 4 core  8 thread CPU at 2.6GHz, so why is it not on the list? please provide details

    Thank you,
