Only a small subset of Intel 7th gen CPU's are supported by Windows 11, your CPU is not on the list.

Even if you get the ISO download and manually install Windows 11 yourself --- the fact is that you will have enormous problems with lack of Windows 11 drivers (and continued updated drivers).
You will be constantly worried on every Patch Tuesday every single month whether the next patch will kill your system. That is if Microsoft offers your computer with monthly security updates at all. So every month you are going to sweat through (1) whether Microsoft offers you security updates and (2) whether the monthly security updates will kill your system.
