Question Will anything better than a I7-7700k work on my build?

[The Shadow Rose]

So i made a computer 7 or 8 years ago which works great. I added and changed stuff over the years and ended up with what I have now on it. It isn't compatible with win 11 however and for some reason someone I know seems adamant that it can handle an amd or better processor despite every compatibility site telling me differently. I think he found his info on intels own site so I wanted to ask you guys who is right and why. A detailed explanation to put this to rest would be great. Thanks.

1. It absolutely cannot utilize an AMD CPU.
No way, no how.

2. Here is the compatibility list for your motherboard:

The i7-7700k is the best CPU that will go in it. Period.
