If anyone is interested, there is a way to make Windows ignore just the CPU generation check. Follow https://www.howtogeek.com/759925/how-to-install-windows-11-on-an-unsupported-pc/ on howtogeek.com and scroll down to "Registry Hack for Unsupported CPUs and/or Only TPM 1.2" to see a registry hack to make Windows allow upgrade to Windows 11 with unsupported CPU. This will only make it skip the CPU generation check (or accept TPM 1.2 instead of TPM 2.0). The Windows 11 installer also checks for CPU speed and number of cores in addition to checking the CPU generation, but since the i7-7500U satisfies minimum requirements for CPU speed and number of cores for Windows 11, this check will not be a problem.

Warning:
Microsoft recommends against installing Windows 11 on a device that does not meet the Windows 11 minimum system requirements. If you choose to install Windows 11 on a device that does not meet these requirements, and you acknowledge and understand the risks, you can create the following registry key values and bypass the check for TPM 2.0 (at least TPM 1.2 is required) and the CPU family and model.
Registry Key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Setup\MoSetup
Name: AllowUpgradesWithUnsupportedTPMOrCPU
Type: REG_DWORD
Value: 1
Note: Serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly by using Registry Editor or by using another method. These problems might require that you reinstall the operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that these problems can be solved. Modify the registry at your own risk.- AnonymousOct 19, 2021Did you use this one? You have to restart computer after doing so
