    System says I can run Windows 10 but installer says I cannot.


    Hello everyone. I'm having a slight problem downloading windows 10 on my computer. When I ran the installer, everything was fine and just as it was about to install, I got "You can't install Windows 10 because your processor doesn't support NX". Why would this happen if I meet the system requirements. Here is my processor specs: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-2520M CPU @ 2.5GHz

    This does meet the system requirements.

    After further investigating, this processor does support NX (or XD in my case, because my processor is Intel not AMD) and it was already enabled in my BIOS. I also updated all my drivers and BIOS. Can someone please help me. A buddy of mine has the same laptop with literally the same specs as me and he has Windows 10 installed with no problems.

    Thanks in advance,
    Alex

    :)

    AySz88 replied to a related question earlier today:

    "There is a DEP setting in Windows that you may need to turn on: Go to Control Panel > System > Advanced system settings > Advanced tab > Performance "Settings..." > Data Execution Prevention tab > choose the second option ("Turn on DEP for all
    programs and services except those I select"). Hit OK, and restart the computer."

    Worked for me.

    Uninstalling a program, and it keeps saying "another installer is running". How can I fix this?: I'm trying to uninstall the Norton Security Ultra program on my computer.
