Need best method to upgrade Vanquish to Win10

When I did research this a while back it seemed that some driver or windows update is causing the problem.
I did disable the update to get Win10 upgrade message but even after enabling that the error appears.

Error noted below:

Windows 10 Setup
There was a problem running this tool.
We're not sure what happened, but we're unable to run this tool on your PC. If you continue experiencing problems, reference the error code when contacting customer support.
Error code: 0x8009000F - 0x90002

Yes I have system updates current.

Its been a while since I tried the Windows 10 upgrade assistance and when I did that earlier today the below message appears:

Message:
Windows 10 Upgrade Assistant
Windows 10 will not run on this PC
Here is why Windows 10 can't be installed
! CPU: The CPU isn't supported (NX).
Memory: OK
Disk space: OK

Here is my CPU details:
Intel Core i5 3570K @ 3.40GHz     50 °C

Does anyone think this is still doable?
If I wanted to upgrade the CPU how would I know what is compatible.

Device Manager is stating CPU drivers are from 2006 and when I clicked "update driver" Windows stated driver is up to date.

I don't see an entry in device manager for motherboard. How would I check and update driver?

If you receive the message that your CPU is not supported in Windows 10, it may be because two reasons. First, you need to ensure that your CPU supports PAE, NX and SSE2 instruction sets. Secondly, you may need to enable a setting in your computer's BIOS (described further down).

To test for PAE, NX, and SSE2, download a program called "CPU-Z" and run it. On the main window, look under the "Instructions" heading for SSE2, EM64T (which also indicates the processor supports PAE) and either VT-d or VT-x, which is required for NX support. If you have all 3, then you are good to go.

Attached is the output from CPUZ:
CPUZ_Specs.txt

How would I look at the properties of the CPU in order to take a screenshot?
Device Manager doesn't show much and looks like CPUZ output has a lot more detail.

Also what setting should be checking in BIOS.

By the way thanks for helping me out. I am a power user not really a tech so any help is appreciated.

look in the bios under security settings for something related to "NX/XD" and enable it.  save and exit, restart the pc, and then try to upgrade to W10.

honestly, he has a 3-years old Ivy Bridge so it's going to have the necessary instructions.  we're really wasting time in that regard.  and more than likely his bios is up to date enough where the NX support is included, it's just a matter of getting him to enable it.  

if he has bios version 2501 he is up to date. 

he might need to dl W10 64-bit chipset drivers though for his specific mobo. 

go here for the proper drivers: http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/P8Z77V_LX/HelpDesk_Download/ 

also, i already checked and his mobo is on the compatibility list for W10 upgrade, so no issues there.

Here is the image of the CPU in CPUZ.

it's a bios setting, so no idea what you're talking about in regards to checking "windows as a last resort". 

at any rate, we should just stay focused on helping the op out.

Executive disable bit setting in bios was disabled.
I enabled and will try the upgrade again.
Will post results soon.

Ran update again and got below error message:

Something went wrong
You can contact Microsoft support for help with this error. here is the error code 0x8009000f

Changed the virtualization setting in the bios to enable, run update, and received the same error message above.

I haven't read this whole thread, but have you downloaded from Windows 10 Media Creation Tool and selected burn as ISO to a ram stick or DVD?    Then you boot to the DVD and try the install. If you change boot order for ram stick, the ram stick has to be plugged in first.

Also, check your Product Key is legit.   MS will kick you off certain tasks if not.   Not at my rig, so can't remember how to check it.

As mentioned make sure you restart the pc after bios changes, so after bios change we want a restart.


run the windows update repair tool

That error can be number of things, from your latest mobo drivers to registry for windows update and etc.

To be honest IMHO if you want to go to win 10 do a fresh install of win 10 from a dvd or usb drive.

reason being when you upgrade it can cause problems either now or down the road, fresh install is always the best way to upgrade to a new OS.

My advise is to clone your current OS drive to an external and then download win10 as an iso to a dvd or usb drive and boot from that drive and do a fresh install of win10 on the current drive.

If something goes bad you can restore your current os exactly as it was before your attempt at win10 upgrade.

IF you want we can keep going down the path of trouble shooting so you can upgrade current OS but that can be a while as there are many different things it can be and remember best way to upgrade is a fresh install not an "in place upgrade(upgrading current os to win10)", but if you want you can download win10 as n iso to dvd or usb and do an in place upgrade from it.
