Hi
I have HPZ840
I tested Windows 11 on it and love it the only issue I bypass the installation and as far as I know Microsoft not going to update your system if you bypass.
I tested the system for compatibility with tool called WhyNotWin11 and the only thing that NOT compatible is the CPU everything els pass.
I wander if any one knows if any 8gen Intel CPU’s and above compatible with the HP Z840?
regards
OB

Same issue, with 2 x Intel Xeon CPU E5-2630 v3 @ 2.40 GHz.
I think some of the newer Xeons are forgotten 🙂
Even the Xeon's of some my older HP Z800 (X5660) are not in the list.
Or there is a issue with this CPU and Windows 11 we even yet don't know.
Hope this will be fixed by MS.

@OB22 -- the only issue I bypass the installation and as far as I know Microsoft not going to update your system if you bypass.
You wrote the above on August 25, 2021.
Did you run Windows Update after the 2nd Tuesday in September (the 14th)
and/or after the 2nd Tuesday in October (the 12th) ?
Did Windows Update offer any updates to your Windows 11 system?
Now that Windows 11 is officially available, will you be deleting your "Windows Insider Preview" edition, and installing the official product? Then, after November 9th, run Windows Update, to see if you get updates of the "official" release.
