    Hi everyone,

    I am using a laptop which was running 8.1 x64 (clean install).

    I don't really like 8 and formatted to windows 7 ultimate 32bit. Since windows 10 is released, I tried to upgrade to pro 32bit and it failed stating the CPU doesn't support NX. Isn't that strange because I thought 8.1 also requires that but it installs just fine? Also, that feature is enabled in the bios.

    Is there any new CPU requirements for 10 like VT-x? Or is there any workaround for this?

    try a clean install see if it happens again booting from windows 10 setup dvd or pen drive, not sure about your cpu, requirements are same as 8.1 X64

    Maybe he should put 8.1 x64 back on try doing the upgrade from there

    Try running cmd.exe as Administator then use this command bcdedit.exe /set {current} nx AlwaysOn and restart. It worked for me!

    Yep, since it won't benefit from x64, I decided to go with x86

    Sounds like a plan but with 7 SP1 x64 then to 10 Pro x64

    I will try this too

    Thank you everyone

    setting nx to always on solve the problem
