It needs a security chip. I saw a tentative list of approved CPUs and mine did not make the list. The i7s started in the 8000 range and mine is 4700. I won’t publish the list because it’s tentative and things may change.

I’m sure there will be a test program available. It may be that mine will be able to upgrade but will be in the ‘not recommended’ class.

EDIT: There is already an app available to check this. https://download.microsoft.com/download/1/d/d/1dd9969b-bc9a-41bc-8455-bc657c939b47/WindowsPCHealthCheckSetup.msi

EDIT the EDIT: Microsoft has pulled this utility, so the link does not work now. See my earlier thread on this subject for an alternate test.
