17 R3, laptop CPU upgrade options

Hello. 

I have noticed that my laptop's CPU is conspicuously absent from the list of Windows 11 accepted CPUs. I am running an Intel i7-6700HQ 2.6GHz and am of the sneaking suspicion that it will not ever be included. I realize that there are workarounds to force the upgrade but I'm concerned about future security patches being blocked if I go that route. I'm also loathe to tear apart the laptop just to see if it's soldered to the board. Does anyone know if upgrading (or just switching to an accepted CPU) is an option for this computer?

Thank You.
