Checking if your Lenovo ThinkCentre supports a 7700T Core i7 is the question. It's not an SFF model. This image shows your PC in the profile picture.

Welcome to the forums, newcomer! Your profile picture displays the tower version of the ThinkCentre M800 by Lenovo. What processor do you have installed on your prebuilt system? I also found these links:

and

Both indicate that the 6th Gen Intel processors are the supported maximum.
If you've installed the i7-7700T for a very low cost, make sure your BIOS is up to date for this prebuilt. However, it's likely the prebuilt won't support it, even though the Q150 chipset might allow it due to BIOS whitelisting for upgrades.

This device works with Intel 6th generation cores.
The newest BIOS update might include compatibility for 7th generation CPUs, though the release notes don't confirm it.
Therefore, it's not guaranteed.
You can still update the BIOS and test it.

i7 6700 will definitely work.
