Windows 10: No Execute memory - NX Windows 10 installer False NX negative - DEP

There Seems to be a severe lack of support for No Execute memory based problems in most motherboards.
In fact it would seem (call me crazy) that this is an intentional problem considering the lack of support for NX based problems such as false NX negatives in the windows 10 installs when windows 8 upgrade assistant proclaims that you are ready to go NX is supported but the windows 10 installs have had this error for far enough time to be fixed by The Windows team.

I would almost go as far as to believe that this problem will not be looked into until windows 10 is no longer free considering the first thing I see is Buy a new computer. Yes I have Windows 10 on this machine In fact this is the second time I have had to reinstall it This machine has NX supported and I am fairly adept at servicing machines But there are people who are not and this seems unfair to people who are living paycheck to paycheck and cannot afford a brand new machine or a 170$ mother board.

It tears out my heart (and hair) to have my friends and family looking at me with a glimmer of hope for a favor for me to nearly suffer a computer based mental illness just to disappoint them.

Printer companies use a similar strategy to keep the sales of printers going. The ink runs out good luck refilling it good luck replacing it because they have already made a slightly newer printer that takes a different cartridge and what do you know no one sells those cartridges any more.

*Mad On behalf of financially drained techies still with a glimmer of faith for Microsoft (Arnold Schwarzenegger Voice) Fix It! Fix It Now!!!

i can't access DEP

Hi Demuul,

To enable the Data Execution Prevention (DEP) in Windows 10, follow the steps below:

• Open elevated Command Prompt by pressing the Windows key + X, and then click on
  Command Prompt (Admin).
• In Command Prompt, type the command below, and then press Enter:
  
  bcdedit.exe /set {current} nx AlwaysOn

Should you want to disable DEP, enter bcdedit.exe /set {current} nx AlwaysOff
in elevated Command Prompt.

Let us know if you need further assistance.

 

Upgrading from Windows 7 to 10

To install Windows 10 on your PC, the processor (CPU) must support the following features: Physical Address Extension (PAE), NX, and SSE2. Most CPUs have support for these features, so if you receive this error, it is likely because the
NX feature is not enabled on your system.

-------------------------

To resolve this error, follow manufacturer guidelines to enable NX (“No eXecute bit”), or the equivalent XD (“eXecute Disabled”), feature within the BIOS settings. This feature is typically found in the Advanced or Security tabs within
the BIOS settings, and can be referred to by a variety of names, including but not limited to:

· No Execute Memory Protect

· Execute Disabled Memory Protection

· EDB (Execute Disabled Bit)

· EVP (Enhanced Virus Protection)

If the BIOS setting for the NX (XD, EDB, or EVP) support option is not available on your system, you may need to contact the manufacturer to update the BIOS. Note that some very old processors may not contain these features and will be
incompatible with Windows 10.

A whitepaper has been published with further details about the PAE/NX/SSE2 requirement for Windows 10, error cases and scenarios that customers encounter when machines fail to meet the requirement, and what to do to install Windows 8 on
their PC’s. You can download the whitepaper at
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/hh975398.aspx.

If you are using a virtualization product to install a Windows 10 virtual machine (VM) and receive this error (or error 0xC0000260), you must enable PAE (or PAE/NX) in the virtualization product’s settings or configuration manager when
setting up the Windows 8 virtual environment.

Note that if you tried to install Windows 10 on the VM hosted on a system running a previous version of Windows with NX disabled, you will need to enable NX on the system before PAE/NX can be enabled for the VM. Please follow the instructions
described in the whitepaperunder
“How Do I know if My System Supports NX or SSE2?” and “If NX Is Supported on My System, How Do I Turn on NX?” to enable NX on the system.
