I tried the compatibility check on my Laptop... and it says my 7700HQ is not supported.

After checking the compatibility list, it's true; only 8xxx and up can upgrade to Win 11. On the AMD side of things, only Zen+ and up made it.

Sounds a bit like a weird cutoff if you ask me. The only good reason I could think of to not include Zen 1/Skylake/ Kaby Lake would be some spectre/meltdown mitigations that are missing on the older chips but integrated in the newer ones, as otherwise they're basically the same architecture than some chips that are on the list.
