    The text is in danish, saying that this PC does not meet the standard for Windows 10. Windows 10 can't be installed on this PC because the CPU is not supported!!

    Now what can I do about this?

    :)

    solved already. if anyone has this same problem, just reinstall the cpus from device manager and reboot. presto, 4cores and 8threads again as detected by cpuz and aida 64. running really cool at 4.7ghz. gonna set to 4.8ghz. and maybe 5ghz when I get a
    top of the line liquid cooler. Core i7 4790K not compatible with Win10? :)

    I've seen this before with this processor. The processor "idles down" to save power, and Windows thinks the CPU speed is too low for Windows. You have to disable this.. I forget what its called.

    Try changing your power settings. I have i7-4790 and have it set like below and have no problem. You can tinker with the range of %.

    Embarrassing .. that solved thread is my own.
    But I was sure this problem was solved by Microsoft earlier, as I have never seen this before today in the "GWX app"

    Thank you for your inputs
