Agreed. And what's the exact model of your CPU? That's usually the culprit.

Can confirm. You could also try using the official Media Creation Tool to make a fresh installer, as sometimes the upgrade path just gets stuck.

You could also check if your specific CPU model is on Microsoft's official supported processors list, as that's a hard requirement. Let me know if that works.

Can confirm. Yeah, that list is key. Also, try temporarily disabling any overclocks in your BIOS, as that can sometimes trip the check.
