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

Yeah, it's super frustrating! I've installed it on an old i5-7500 by using a tool like WinBootsMate to create a bootable USB that automatically bypasses those checks. It worked perfectly for me and still gets updates.

I have the same problem. I thought it would be compatible to upgrade to win 11. I have tpm 2.0, I have Secure Boot, I have 8 gigabye RAM; I have 256 gb of storage which is plenty because the health check said 664 mb was all that was required. I am confuzzled lol. I am very green (technologically). I know there are ways to get it done, but I am not very good at this computer stuff. So I guess it means I'll have to buy a laptop with win 11. Sad because I just bought this HP one (which I love) late June this year.
