Hi guys, can anyone please tell me how I can install win 7 ultimate 64-bit on my imac 5k 2017?
When I tried to install it on Bootcamp, I received a pop-up which states BC only support 64 bit Win 10 or later.
Would appreciate your help! Thanks in advance!

Sadly you are not able to install Windows 7 on any iMac later than the 'late 2014' model. Check here for more details.
Microsoft has also sent out updates for Windows 7 and 8 — that disables further Windows updates when running on an Intel Kaby Lake processor. Even if you could install Windows 7 either in Boot Camp, or a Virtual Machine, Windows is specifically able to see that underlying Kaby Lake processor, and that would be the end of your updates.
FWIW you can run Windows 7 as a virtual machine in VMWare, Parallels or VirtualBox.
