Incompatible processor with Windows 10

Solved
Bernard -  
Hello,
I have a computer equipped with an Intel Pentium dual-core E5400 processor and when I try to install Windows 10, I get the following message:
Unable to install Windows 10: The processor is not supported (NX).
However, in the BIOS, I have the "No Execute Memory Protect" function set to Enabled.
Can you please help me, because I'm almost sure this processor is compatible with Windows 10.
In the meantime, I will check if there is a BIOS update available.
Looking forward to your support,
Best regards
Bernard

      Thank you for your reply, but,
      in the list of compatible processors published by Microsoft, all "Pentium" processors are considered compatible, and the NX function, which does not seem to be supported by my processor, corresponds to the famous "No Execute Memory Protect" which is "enabled." So I do not understand why this function is considered inactive.
      Anyway, too bad, I will remain on Windows 7.
      Thank you again for your reply,
      Best regards
