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.

That's excellent! I am very green technologically. I will probably have to buy another computer (laptop) that has Windows 11 installed as the Health Check app said the computer I have is not eligible - and I have tpm 2.0, secure boot, enough RAM and storage, etc. It's the processor they balk at, apparently to me.
