Windows 10: Intel CPU not supported.

I was hoping to move from Win7 to Win10 but when a check is done for computer compatability I get the message -

! CPU The CPU isn't supported (NX)
Memory OK
Disk space OK

The CPU is an
" Intel(R) Core(TM)2 duo CPU E7400 @ 2,8GHz 2.79GHz

The message ends up suggesting that I shop for a new PC online.

Thank you for suggestions.

Window's 10

I'll soon be updating to Window's 10, however at the moment my intel CPU is not supported. Can anyone recommend a intel supported CPU that will be able to run the update to windows 10. Thank you

 

Win 10 says CPU Not supported - Intel Core2 Duo E6600 - Why?

I have two machines awaiting a Win 10 upgrade but today I found that one of them will not be upgraded because the CPU is not supported. Yet the other one will be upgraded.

Both are Core2 Duo machines on ASUS P5N32 identical motherboards. One is a model E6600 running at 2.4GHz (not supported) and the other is an E6850 running at 3GHz. Why is one acceptable and the other is not? Both machines have 4GB of RAM.

In researching this I found there might be some BIOS parameter changes required to enable certain CPU features - which I did but which had no effect on the Get Windows 10 app declaring the CPU is not supported. I ran the appraiser app which was supposed to
re-evaluate my system but even after several reboots the Get Windows 10 app still reports the CPU is not supported but shows a last run date of 7/31/2015 - as though the fact that I've scheduled the appraiser at least 3 times today to run after BIOS changes
and reboots - but the last run date/time never changes.

Is there some flag or file set somewhere I need to clear to have the Get Windows 10 app actually re-evaluate so I know if I fixed anything?

 

Welcome to the forum.

The NX feature is supported by your CPU but it is likely disabled in the BIOS. Different manufacturers use different names for the setting so I can't tell you what it is.

 

I'd be inclined to give it a go at installing on your set up, I've been running W10 Pro on this 8 year old set up with a Core 2 Duo E8400 cpu with no problems for several months now:-
