Hi I use Late 2015 27 inch iMac and I want to set up windows 7 on some part of my Mac, but my boot camp assistant can support windows 10 but not windows 7. Is there any way to set up windows 7 on high Sierra. Thanks in advance.

As you have discovered Windows 7 is not supported on the 2015 iMac under BootCamp. I discovered the same thing. I was able to get Windows 7 running in a virtual machine though. It works well enough for what I needed but would not be great for graphic intensive apps.
