We have installed the elasticsearch version 7.0.1 in windows 11 but not starting the service.  
Can you please help us to solve the issue?

Elasticsearch 7.0.1 is very old and has been EOL for a very long time. I would recommend you upgrade to at least version 7.17, but ideally 8.8.

If you cannot start, check the ES log, there should be more info or event application log.

If you want to learn ELK or simulate for testing, as Christian said go for 8.8.
