HP Pavilion Power – 15-cb018ng with Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-7700HQ CPU

How is it possible that my 3 year old HP Pavilion Power – 15-cb018ng with Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-7700HQ CPU @ 2.80GHz does not support Windows 11?

You'll have to ask Microsoft that question.  They set the requirements.

This does not necessarily mean you can't install W11 on your PC, but you would have to perform a clean install and reinstall all of your programs and files.

If you want to see if W11 works on your PC, you can make a bootable W11 USB installer from the link below.

See this article.  3rd headline from the bottom.

If for some reason, W11 does not work correctly on your PC, you can reinstall W10.

I currently have W11 clean installed on two PC's that I have, that do not meet the requirements for the W11 upgrade and they both work fine on W11 so far.
