This PC's processor doesn't support a critical feature (NX)."

My Win 7 is 32 bit, I run the following command to no avail
schtasks.exe /Run /TN "\Microsoft\Windows\Application Experience\Microsoft Compatibility Appraiser"

Then I've looked at the "Data Execution Prevention" tab under performance options and noticed that it states that my laptop supports DEP,
so I've just ticked the "Turn on DEP for all programs" check box, and am currently running the upgrade again, I'll post the results

This time I got up to about 80%
and came back with a page fault in non paged area pssnap.sys
did some research and found other people with win10 upgrade issues surrounding this file had macrium reflect installed, I've just uninstalled it and currently running the upgrade from a dvd, well see.

Hi there,
When i try to upgrade W7 to W10 I get the no NX message.
I've run CoreInfo and my CPU supports NX, SEE2 e.t.c mentioned on plenty of google search pages.
My Laptop is a Toshiba Satellite Pro P300
CPU is a Intel T9550,
Have no idea what the motherboard is.
The Phoenix Bios is very limited surrounding CPU features,
I have execute-Disable bit capability enabled,
Intel Virtualization Tech enabled, tried disabled as well.

A link to my laptop specs
Support :: Toshiba :: Computers, Laptops/Notebooks, Tablets, Televisions, DVD and Blu-Ray Players, Camcorders, Storage, Accessories, and more


Help, I've tried all sorts of suggestions, has anyone overcome this problem?
Thanks

Please update the Systems Specs in your forum profile with complete information.

• In the System Manufacturer/Model Number field, manually type Desktop or Laptop adding it to the information already in the field. The specific model number is important - there are often many models of a given series.
  For example, my machine is a HP Pavilion dv6, but there are tens of the dv6 series, so dv6-6c10us is the specific model.
  
  
• Specify Custom Build as the manufacturer if it is not an OEM machine.

The easiest way to do this is to use the information from a PUBLISHED Speccy report.
See: Speccy - Publish Snapshot of your System Specs

Post the link to the report that Speccy gives you and also open the Speccy link.
Then click here to view your System Specs on this forum.

When you have both windows open, put them side-by-side and simply copy the information, field by field, from the Speccy report to your System Specs.

There's a BIOS update 3.4 on the site, but you need to know the architecture of the board - the Speccy will tell you.

I don't know how Toshiba flashes BIOS - but the bit-depth of Windows shouldn't really mattet unless they use a flash utility or limit what is accessible based on bit-depth. It's hardware before Windows - Sheesh!

The good news is that all Windows editions/bit-depth BIOSes are the same version 3.4

Don't do anything until someone looks at the Speccy and what you fill in on your specs.
You might not need to update the BIOS

Since you have Win7 32-bit, you can only upgrade to Win10 32-bit.

After upgrading you can Clean install with the 64-bit media, but you cannot upgrade 32-bit to 64-bit.

Assuming OP can solve NX isssue, no need to upgrade to 32 bit first. Simply install 64bit and use 7 key to activate.

Good suggestion, but ... It's a 32-bit machine

Speccy:

- Machine Variables
--- PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE: x86
--- PROCESSOR_IDENTIFIER: x86 Family 6 Model 23 Stepping 10, GenuineIntel

So why did you say upgrade to windows 10 32 bit then clean install 64bit unless you determined that after you posted?

I was just responding to your statement!
