Most people have probably heard about the free Windows 10 upgrade. Unfortunately my Get Windows 10 app claims my CPU isn't compatible with 10.

This seemed weird, because Microsoft claims 10 can run on any PC that can run 7 or 8.

After some searching I think I found my problem: 10 requires UEFI 2.3.1 firmware. This was released in 2011. My PC was bought a year or two earlier.

My CPU is Intel Core i5 750 @ 2.67ghz. My OS is 7 Pro 64 bit. My motherboard is T5XE CFX-SLI
