Title: Windows 10 hardware compatibility
Post by: Bigs11 on August 11, 2015, 06:27:52 AM

Does anyone know if Windows 10 is compatible with Intel E8500 Core 2 Duo cpu?
Is there any workaround if that is the case?
Early in the update stage, I had a message saying my CPU was incompatible, but the downloading continued.
And I get a Failed Installation every day as it tries to install.
Error Details Code: 800703ED

I've since discovered that the above error was because I had a Dual boot setup.
After booting direct from from Win7 harddrive I now get a message saying "you can't install windows 10 because your processor doesn't support NX".
I'm thinking that any of the older processors will have the same problem.
Any thoughts on the above?

Thanks for the reply.
Well looking at that, the specs say I do have NX on the E8500.
During the Windows 10 upgrade, I get the message saying I DO NOT have NX on my Processor.
Or should I enable or disable "Execute Disable Bit" in my bios?
I guess I should try to contact Microsoft, and ask why I get this incorrect message then?
