Man, those processors aren't even that old. The i7-10875H came out in mid 2020 for example. That is a perfectly capable processor that can run most tasks without a sweat.

I'm so damn happy I got out of that ecosystem this year.

My laptop has the slightly refreshed 10870H. I got it in early '21. A 4 year old laptop isn't new enough for Windows 11.
