I have the same CPU and Graphics Card as you do. I have an HP 17t special order, and it still rocks. I am not happy about this issue with Windows 11. It makes no sense. I'm following in the event you find any reasonable answers or solutions.

Hi there,
The Intel core i7-6700HQ is still even in 2021, a pretty powerful CPU, what led Microsoft to decide that PC users with this CPU should not get an update to windows 11? It is not so that this CPU can't handle the Windows 11 operating system. Should older PC's with still powerful enough CPU's be left out? Is this "good business" for Microsoft?
Would appreciate your insights and comments on this,
Thank you!
