    Oh, wow. So my i7-6700 is the reason why tool shows it's not meeting requirements, despite having TPM 2.0 etc.

    Just. Wow.

    This really bodes badly, looking at the CPU list anything before 8th gen Intel CPU and you're stuffed, can't believe that Microsoft wants to create so much Ewaste by having all Kaby Lake and lower systems shut out of Windows 11, the i7-6700 still holds up well on my daughters PC, has no trouble with most apps, games, and creator tools, she can stream and play with no issue.

    Horrendous decision making from Microsoft.

    The latest Steam Hardware Survey is very insightful to current hardware setups, Microsoft are shutting out high numbers of people/systems.

    Intel Core 7th generation from 2017 is not supported?!

    I think you've gone too far with the possessor requirements.

    The requirements likely have to do with having TPM 2.0 on your machine, not its hardware specifications.  Mine is the same - but I don't have TPM 2.0, so I can't run it.
