Error in running Quartus Prime on Intel Centrino

I have installed Quartus Prime software. But it is not run, and the following message appear:

The host CPU is not supported in this version of the Intel Quartus Prime software. Intel requires that you upgrade to a more recent processor that supports SSE 4.2 and the POPCNT instruction.

How can I fix it, without upgrading my CPU?

I don't think there is alternative way as the hardware requirement to support Quartus software is not met.

Please check that your Hardware Requirements and Software Requirements are meet before installation.

Ensure that your Operating System is supported.

As the hardware is not capable of supporting the Quartus software, and the user is recommended to upgrade the CPU, I believe there is no further support that I can provide at this point.

With that, I will transition this thread to community support. If you have any further questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out.

Thank you and have a great day!
