Checked Windows 11 specs and system needs. The GPD P2 Max seems to fit, though the PC Health Checker flags the CPU as incompatible. It meets all listed requirements from the official site. Specs: dual-core, 4 threads, over 1GHz (around 1.1GHz base). Runs on 16GB RAM or more, and has 512GB NVMe SSD storage. Supports UEFI, Secure Boot, TPM2.0, and DX12 graphics. Internet connection is available. The main concern was the display size—resolution is 2560x1600, which according to HWinfo is about 8.9 inches.

It’s likely the CPU isn’t included in the whitelist. Check the available options carefully—some lists show compatible models while others specify a certain performance level, like 2 cores with four threads above 1GHz. If it doesn’t appear on the list, installation might be possible but isn’t advised. The definitive rule is that the health checker will refuse to proceed if the CPU isn’t recognized.

I understand your perspective. It seems like such a simple thing, but it feels a bit silly given how new the laptop is.

It's also offered with a 3965Y version that isn't included, so it's recommended to consult WhyNotWin11 for more details.

Same issue persists—everything shows as incompatible in Windows updates. I tried the feedback hub, but it wasn’t acknowledged. I downloaded Win 11 from the dev channel and moved to the beta without problems. Still hoping the update timeline aligns with what’s being released.
