Dell XPS 15 9560 upgrade to Windows 11 Pro 64 bit with Intel Core i7-7700HQ processor.

[Windows 11]

I have a Dell XPS 15 9560 and I wish to upgrade to Windows 11 Pro 64 bit. According to the W11P check, The Processor, an Intel Core i7-7700HQ is not compatible with W11P. The PC does meet all other minimum criteria (4 cores, 32G RAM, 1T SSD, TPM 2.0, W10P 64 bit, Secure boot). Do Microsoft intend to release W11P 64 bit version that supports this processor before W10P64 EOL in October 25 or will this processor work in any case or will I need to invest in a new PC? I would prefer to retain my current PC if possible as it is still fast and meets my application needs.Many thanks for your support
