Does my Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-7700 CPU @ 3.60GHz support Windows Server 2025

I have checked the hardware requirements for Windows server https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/get-started/hardware-requirements?tabs=cpu&pivots=windows-server-2025. On the same webpage, it is proposed that Coreinfo be used to verify the capabilities of the CPU. From all the requirements I do not see in my CPU list the following ones (Coreinfo output attached at the end):

  • Support for NX and DEP -> DEP does not appear in the list
  • Support for Second Level Address Translation (EPT or NPT) -> I do not recognize any of these in the list.

I've checked another machine currently running Windows Server 2019, which mounts an Intel(R) Xeon(R) E-2234 CPU @ 3.60GHz (Coreinfo output attached at the end). Running the Coreinfo on that machine produced an output where I could not find any of the two in the previous list (NX and DEP; Second Level Address Translation).

Is there another way of checking these requirements?

Are they satisfied with the Intel Core i7-7700?
