Right, and even if you bypass that check, you might run into stability issues later.

Yeah, You could also try using the official Media Creation Tool with a registry edit to bypass the CPU check.

Same here. Gotcha, so to be clear, is the TPM 2.0 setting enabled in your BIOS?

Yeah, and also, have you checked if Secure Boot is turned on in the BIOS?

Yeah, I had the same problem with an older CPU. The installer is really strict about the supported processor list, even if everything else is fine.

Yeah, You could also try using the official Media Creation Tool to make a bootable USB, which sometimes bypasses the initial hardware check.

Same here. I had the same problem with an older CPU. The G4560 isn't on Microsoft's supported list, so you'll likely have to do a clean install with a modified ISO.

+1 You could also try using the official Media Creation Tool and selecting "Remove requirement for 4GB+ RAM, Secure Boot, and TPM 2.0" during setup.

Agreed. I had the same problem with an older CPU. I ended up using Rufus to make a bootable USB that bypasses those checks.
