Windows 10 CPU not supported (Windows 7)

[ZombieKiller]

So I just opened the Get Windows 10 tab on my Alienware M11x R3 laptop with Windows 7 and it says there is an issue that requires my attention. I clicked it and it said my CPU is not supported... I checked it just a week or two ago and it didn't say that. The last scan was done on the 6/13. My CPU is a i5 2537M and should be plenty new. I ran some programs and command prompts and my CPU support all the required technology (SSE2, NX, etc.) So I'm not sure what's going on and I want to be sure the install works tomorrow for Windows 10.

So no one has any idea...?

 

[ZombieKiller]

Well I'm able to install Windows 10 now, but no my CPU is apparently not supported despite it being fairly new and supporting all the needed technologies...

 

[ZombieKiller]

Can I re-run the hardware check?

 

[ZombieKiller]

Oh come on, now the upgrade center is gone...

Ranger4 i don't have a problem. I'll upgrade when i know my hardware is good to go, not when MS tells me.
i recommend ZombieKiller do a clean install with an win7 image to go back to.
