Why doesn't Windows 11 support i7 7500? Is there a way to install it?

In fact, it is quite frustrating that Microsoft does not support 7th generation CPUs such as i7 7500, but fortunately there is a way to bypass the detection. I used the method of modifying the registry and successfully installed Windows 11 on my old i7 7500 computer. The whole process was quite smooth, but there are also some pitfalls to pay attention to.

1. First use Microsoft's Media Creation Tool to create a Windows 11 boot disk. This step is nothing special, just follow the prompts.

2. Modify the registry

1. Enter regedit to open the registry editor.
2. Locate: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Setup
3. Right-click to create a new subkey and name it LabConfig.
4. Create two new DWORD (32-bit) key values ​​in LabConfig:

   BypassTPMCheck, set the value to 1

3. Close the registry editor and return to the installation interface. Click Next to skip the TPM and CPU detection and install Windows 11 directly.

You need to modify the registry, which may be a bit scary for newbies, but it shouldn't be a problem if you follow the steps.
