So does W10 need NX,PAE,SSE2 to instal much like windows 8 Abd can you guys suggest a tool that shows me if my cpu has that i know cpuinfo but it wont run on a windows xp computer How can i check if it has nx pae and sse2 thanks in advance!
Windows 10 does require those functions to work otherwise it boots to a 0x5D BSOD. As for the CPU, if it is an Intel then it needs to be a Pentium 4 based on the Prescott core (this includes all Pentium 4s with Hyper Threading and the P4 630, 640, 650, and 660) or newer and if it's an AMD then it has to be a Atlon 64 or newer. To check just enter the BIOS and the CPU model should be somewhere in there.
