    Splash screen says "this PC is unable to run windows 10" - Compatibility report says "You're Good to Go"

    I have a weird issue where the Windows 10 App is giving different information depending on what screen I am on.

    When I first open the app it says "Unfortunately, this PC is unable to run Windows 10" (See screen shot below)

    Why is it saying that it's running when it's not? 417c1062-34da-41e9-843b-b5111b291b3d.jpg

    So I click on the "View Report" to check the compatibility issue and I get a clean bill of health saying "You're good to go, Your PC will work with Windows 10"

    Why is it saying that it's running when it's not? 8b9e6d02-5777-481b-a89e-f31c7793461d.jpg

    What gives? I have not seen the temp folder showing that any files are getting downloaded in preparation for an install.

    Background:

    • The first time the compatibility report ran I had the widely reported issue of the CPU being reported as incompatible. I followed the instructions for forcing the patch for the App to be installed and I forced the compatibility checker to be re-run by following
      the steps over here How to Fix: CPU Not Compatible with Windows 10 Error (steps that are also suggested on this forum)
      • for whatever reason I got a confirmation saying that the compatibility checker had run in the command prompt but when I opened the app the last run day was from over a month ago and it still listed my CPU as being incompatible
      • Tried several more times with the same result
    • When the Launch date happened the App must have run itself as the "last run" date changed to 7/29 and the compatibility check says I am all good. But the splash screen still says this PC is unable to run windows 10
    • Uninstalling the app and re-downloading the necessary KB's doesn't fix the problem
    System info:

    • Lenovo W520 4270CTO
    • CPU: i7-2960XM @ 2.70 GHz
    • Video Card - Intel HD Graphics
    • Video Card Discrete - NVIDIA Quadro 2000M
    • Windows 7 SP1 64 bit
    Any thoughts / suggestions? Thanks!

    Good surround sound headset

    I know you say you're not that guy, but stepping into the $250+ range really brings a change in build quality that might have you never having to buy another set. Otherwise, getting 6 speakers with decent sound in a headset is hard, and that's what you are asking for, and I have no suggestions, but just a bump up the list. *Stick Out Tongue Why is it saying that it's running when it's not? :p

    SFC wont run from boot command prompt, says ....

    What's confusing? Your goal is confusing and your test environment is confusing.
    Let's forget about the malware and SFC for the moment and regroup.

    Q1: Tell me if your goal is to install 9926.

    Q2: Tell me how you have Win10 setup - in a Virtual machine, as a secondary OS in dual boot, or as the primary and only OS.

    Post a screen shot of your Disk Management:
    See: Disk Management - How to Post a Screenshot of

    Members have already suggested a Clean install - you don't need to update through Win10.
    easy steps
    1. Download the latest Win10 Preview build ISO on a uninfected machine.
    2. Burn the ISO to a disc
    3. clean out the current Win10 install
    4. install a new Win10 from the disc
    See: https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/1...n-install.html for the full instructions

    Once your goal and test environment are clearly articulated, I or another member can help walk you through the full process. Don't overthink it though as you did with the Malware guide (it sounded to me as though you decided which scanners to run and did not run all of them). If you skip a step in the Clean Install, you'll just be wasting your time and wasting my time.

    Answer the first two questions and post the Disk Management screen shot. Start there and focus on the goal.
    Step by step.
