    I would like to install Windows 7 Pro on an Intel NUC10i5.

    Not knowing if this is even possible I tried the Windows 7 Image Updater on a Windows 7 system but the dism.exe version is too old and I can't find a way to update it.
    Then ran the Windows 7 Image Updater on a Windows 10 Pro and it completed successfully - it booted on the NUC10i5 initially with the Windows logo but then the display went unreadable.

    Is it even possible to install Windows 7 Pro on a NUC10i5 ?

    You probably won't find any drivers for it.
    And with that the matter is unequivocally decided.

    not really because NUC10i5 uses 10th generation intel cpu / hardware

    get something older like NUC8i5 or NUC9i5
