This. Yeah, that Media Creation Tool trick only works if your CPU is actually on the official support list, which the G4560 isn't. Hope that helps.

This happened to me with an older i7. I ended up having to use a workaround to bypass the checks.

You could also try the registry edit method to bypass the CPU check during setup. Another option is creating installation media with a modified installer that skips the requirements. Good luck!

Same here. You could also check if your motherboard has a TPM setting you can enable in the BIOS, as that sometimes helps. Another option is to just stick with Windows 10 for now, since it's still supported.

Yeah, and if you're feeling adventurous, you could look into the unofficial workarounds to bypass the CPU check, but that's at your own risk.

Can confirm. Yeah, that CPU is the main blocker, but let's double-check if Secure Boot is also enabled in your BIOS. Hope that helps.

Agreed. Also, is TPM 2.0 turned on? That's another common requirement it might be checking.

You could also try using the official Media Creation Tool to make a fresh installer, as it sometimes bypasses the CPU check.

Yeah, that's a good suggestion. Just be aware that even if it installs, you might not get future security updates since the CPU is unsupported. Hope that helps.
