Maybe Dell is not dictating, but Dell is not just a simple bystander. Just look at this : https://www.dell.com/en-us/lp/windows-11

Microsoft has stated they will not block users of non-qualified systems from updating to Win 11. Their claims of new technology being responsible for restricting approval to recent systems may be true and that change may or may not effect a system, but we don't know..
I have four Dell systems I bought about the same time you got yours. Currently, I believe I will stay with Win 10 for all of my six systems since those four should not be upgraded.
If an .iso becomes available, you can try to upgrade your system but neither Microsoft or Dell will be held accountable for any problems you encounter.

@HJVH Actually it's Microsoft which is saying no as of now. So Dell wouldn't test a 7th gen notebook for windows 11.
Windows 11 supported Intel processors
Don't be impatient, Let Microsoft roll out windows 11. I have over 100 notebooks with 7th gen or lower specs. Once ISO is out, there may be options for us.

Here are some facts for you: I have W11 running on an Optiplex 3040 with a 6th Gen i5 and a Lenovo Thinkpad with a 7th Gen i5. Both systems were 'upgraded' by insider preview as compliant systems. I also have W11 running on an XPS 9560 i7-7700 upgraded via W11 ISO - non compliant CPU accepted. All systems are up to date and have applied all released OS updates and patches. Make of that what you will....

The cpu in the Dell xps 9560 is Intel Core i7-7700HQ
the minimum spec cpu for win 11 is Intel Core i7-7820HQ
What is the difference between the two cpu -from the same family is only clock speed.
I'm running win 11 (windows insider program) on the same laptop without issues

Welcome to the Dell Community @HJVH
Wait for the official release to see what Microsoft's final requirement's are.
Remember its called Microsoft Windows 11 not Dell Windows 11.
Dell is not dictating the requirements, Microsoft is.
