Acer Aspire TC-895, the ability to supply Intel processors of the 11th generation

I want to put the i5 11600KF in the Acer Aspire TC-895, the motherboard is B46H5-AD. Support to say that it is impossible to supply the 11th generation, as well as processors with the k and f index. I want to know if there are any enthusiasts here who were able to put the 11th generation of processors on this motherboard?(maybe some kind of custom BIOS firmware...)
I just don't want to believe that the maximum in this computer is i5 10400 (judging by the support response, even without the F index). I would like an i5 11600KF or i7 11700KF

    It looks like the Acer Aspire TC-895 typically supports 10th-generation Intel CPUs, and upgrading to an 11th-generation processor like the i5-11600KF might not be straightforward. Enthusiasts have discussed compatibility concerns, particularly regarding BIOS limitations and power delivery. UserBenchmark Aspire TC-895

    Acer's B46H5-AD motherboard doesn't seem to officially support K and F series processors, which means even if the socket physically fits, BIOS restrictions could prevent the system from booting. Some users have explored workarounds, but there’s no widely documented success in getting an i5-11600KF running on this board. Acer Aspire XC-895 Series B46H5-AD motherboard

    If you're determined to try, you might need to check for BIOS updates or consider a motherboard swap for full compatibility.
