Hello, my pc with CPU Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550 (SLAWQ L8188111), 4 gb ram corsair, Asus P5Q Deluxe motherboard with BIOS updated to latest version (P5Q Deluxe BIOS 2301).

 

question:

 

I installed Windows 7 Home Premium 32bit with SP1 when I try to upgrade to Windows 10 by starting the app "get win10" tells me error "The CPU is not supported."

 

What can I do to solve this problem.

 

Thank you

Your processor model is not suitable for Windows® 10. The support for Windows® 10 is available from 3rd generation processors.

I'm surprised that the W-10 upgrade process actually noticed that your hardware is too old. That must be a recent change, as most people don't discover that their hardware is not compatible until W-10 is installed and then doesn't work properly.

Look at the following URL which is the one for downloading device drivers for your ASUS P5Q motherboard. Note the absence of drivers for W-10.https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/P5Q/HelpDesk_Download/ P5Q | Motherboards | ASUS Global
