    Same to you: if you had read post #2 you had also read that the 3.2 was working with Windows 8 Pro 32bit.:D

    Any information on an internet forum is free, liking it isn't an issue, but when a forum propagates fallacies it says a lot about the site and the members who frequent it. So after you have deleted this post you can go ahead and delete my account, because I wont be needing it.

    Windows 8 Developer and Consumer Preview worked, but no supported Windows 8 version does. There is no lasting way to bypass these checks (maybe only with patching kernel which begs for trouble).

    Short answer: No.

    Same answer.

    MS decided hardware DEP/NX is a prerequisite for running Windows 8 since Release Preview. I do not think that change will be reversed ever. Checks are in kernel and non-compliant CPUs are hardblocked.

    Yes, from what I know, every Windows 8 requires it. Don't you think if Enterprise didn't then all guys and gals with old CPUs would rather run that SKU instead of complaining?

    How did you install Windows 8 on a processor without nx, XD, pea etc?
    I have a dell dimension 2400 with a Pentium 4 2.8GHz and 768MB of RAM, and can not install Windows 8 because Un-Supported Processor

    You may be able to install it that way. But the checks are in the kernel so it won't boot.
