The simple answer is that series 7 processors are not compatible.
There are ways round this, but then you are in unsupported territory.
Unless there is a helluva good reason you must have W11, I suggest you
stay with W10. Or, get a new laptop.

Thanks. I didn't think any gen 7 intel cpus were supported. I stand corrected.
