    When this app was released at that time it showed me that my inbuilt bluetooth might be a issue and rest everything is fine. Now when i opened it up today morning it shows me my CPU is not compatible and system wont be updated to windows 10.
    This is my Dell laptop and Dell is selling this laptop with Ubuntu, Windows 7 and Windows 8.1.
    CPU is Intel i3-4005U
    Ram 4GB

    Since i bought this laptop with windows 7 but others have bought same config with Windows 8.1. How MS will be handling it and how come my CPU is all of a sudden not compatible with windows 10.

    One reason I could think of is some CPU function/features had been locked, maybe not by you, but by some software you used. :p

    Is it Win 7 Pro or Win 7 Home Premium, you probably need to go to windows update and get sp1 (Service Pack 1)
    or it may be on Microsoft main site under downloads, but remember Pro upgrades to Win 10 Pro, Win 7 Sp1 Home Premium upgrade to Win 10 Home. After you have installed sp1 it should be good to go with Win 10:D

    Maybe your right, he has sp1 already, Maybe it's what Faikee said, I'd start uninstalling programs until he's eligible :D

    I wouldn't give anything on this stupid add :cool2:. I didN't reserve a copy since i don't want it being downloaded in background.

    When RTM hits the surface i will download, install in VM for tests, then do the Upgrade via mounted ISO from with in my Windows. Obviously after creating a System Image.

    It say report last generated on 22/06/2015 that too at 3:46AM
    Moreover i have installed
    Google photos backup
    Teamviewer 10
    VLC Media Player
    Java 8 update 45
    Google Drive
    Acrobat XI
    Firefox Developer Edition

    These all have been installed in the month of June.
    Now i dont see any of these programs to play with my CPU features.
    And i can generate a report of CPU Z and it can point if there is any discrepancy with the features?

    Search the web for the windows 8.1 compatibility checker. It has the same requirements, so it should give the same result.

    checked with the compatibility checker for 8.1 and it shows compatible.
    Microsoft makes it so confusing.

    Does it append to the report? Did you go down to the bottom to see if new lines have been added?

    And what about the legit key of Windows 8?
    Because I also don´t want to download in the background, because I have two PC's and two VM running with legit key..

    Nobody can answer until RTM is out and people have tried. Anything else would be just guessing.
