Yeah, that CPU is actually on the unsupported list, so that's likely the main blocker.

I had the same problem with an older Intel chip. It's super frustrating when your PC feels capable but gets blocked by that list. Hope that helps.

Yeah, Have you checked if your motherboard's TPM 2.0 is enabled in the BIOS?

This. You could also try using the PC Health Check app from Microsoft, it often gives a clearer breakdown of what's specifically failing.

+1 I had the same problem with an older CPU. The health check app confirmed it was my processor that wasn't supported, which was a real letdown. Good luck!

Yeah, that's the exact same blocker. A quick tip: Microsoft's official PC Health Check app will give you the specific reason, but for that CPU, it's definitely the lack of TPM 2.0 support.

This. Agreed, that CPU is the issue. You could also check your BIOS for a TPM setting, but on that older hardware, it likely just won't be compatible.

Agreed. I had the same problem with an older Intel chip. It’s definitely the CPU holding you back.

Yeah, the FX series isn't on Microsoft's supported list, so you're stuck there.
