Probably OT but... can't install Windows 10 Preview on PC Notebook

I've got this stupid little PC notebook that Kittendaddy bought for $100 during the holidays. It runs Windows 8.1 (and whoever invented 8.1 needs to be shot, stabbed, shot again, set on fire, and then launched into the center of the sun).


I want to upgrade it to the Windows 10 Preview, but the updater said that the stupid little notebook runs "a compressed operating system".


Does anyone know what that means? This is all gibberish to me! User uploaded file 😕


Thanks in advance!

MacBook Pro, OS X Yosemite (10.10.1), 250 GB HD, SuperDrive, 4 GB RAM

This is not related to a Mac. Your PC/Tablet/Phablet does not meet W10 TP system requirements.



Please see http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/preview-faq-system-requirements-pc.


Specifically

Some PC processors and hardware configurations aren’t supported by Technical Preview, including a small number of older, 64-bit CPUs, and some 32 GB and all 16 GB devices running a compressed operating system.
