Pentum D 820

[DChes3]

Trying to install windows 8.1 and windows 10 on dell system with Pentium D 820. Intel product specs indicates that this cpu will run windows 8.1 or windows 10 because it supports Execute Disable Bit.

When installing either of the two operating systems it says my cpu is not supported.
