Windows 10 and intel core2 quad Q9550

[triprider]

My machine is an ASUS P5N-D with a intel core2 quad Q9550, 6GB Ram, NVIDIA Geforce GTX 550Ti, Windows 7 32 bit SP1 Professional.
CPU-Z reports that this CPU Supports the following instructions: MMX, SSE, SSE2, SSE3, SSSE3, SSE4, EM64T, VT-x. When I try to intstal Windows 10 With the 'Get Windows 10' tray icon it says that this CPU is not supported. Is there a way around this?

At this moment no, you need wait for unofficial mods
But you not losing anything Win 10 do not give any advantages

Sorry to see 6GB of RAM running a 32-bit OS.

Did you use Microsoft's tool to double-check beforehand?

That has the link to the Windows 8/8.1 Upgrade tool (which tests your PC to see f it can handle Windows 8)...& essentially, if it can't handle Windows 8, it can't handle Windows 10.

Yes I did use the Windows 8/8.1 Upgrade tool and It said that my computer would run Windows 8.1 With the exception of Microsoft Security Essentials, It said my hardware and apps were compatible. When I try to use the 'Get Windows 10' Icon from the system tray, it says my CPU isn't supported.

I was able to install Windows 10 by bypassing the tray icon and using the Microsoft Media tool and downloading Windows 10 directly. I followed the instructions on this link.

well, my old test laptop seems to work fine. Difference is, I did upgrade to 8 with it and then 8.1 before 10.
Sempron SI-42 2.1GHz, 3GB ram, 250GB HDD, HD3200 as GPU.

Yes, CPU is single core supporting MMX, 3DNow!, 3DNow!-2, SSE, SSE-2, SSE-3, DEP, EM64T

Was thinking of buying a used dell 780 desktop or hp8000 desktop with c2d e8400 with 4gb ram 1333 MHz bus speed. But since I heard that it's cant handle multitasking, so I'm wondering if that is true for c2d n c2q.
I will not be using Gpu right now.
My multitasking include nonstop utorrent, with using words n excel , or watching full Hdd movies 1080p ones around 2-4gb file size, or streaming those movies, shows, or files to other devices, or streaming on YouTube, n maybe later hook it up to led to as well through hdmi port or wifi. While utorrent is being in used. Will be using 2hdd n dvdrw as well.

The reason I'm looking is I had dell optiplex gx620 desktop with 280w of dell , used 2 hdd, did combo, no Gpu or sound card, did all that fine till I reached Windows 7 32bit ( as 64 bit wouldn't run properly at all.) even with win 7 , I had lagging issue now n then.

As I need to run to system for 5 years or so.
