The message " Uninstall this application now " indicates that the latest version of Windows 10 will not work on your computer. However, the fact is that there are no applications to uninstall and Microsoft blames this on Intel microprocessor chips.

The following CPUs will not work with the Creators Update version:

1. Atom Z2760
2. Atom Z2520
3. Atom Z2560
4. Atom Z2580

Microsoft claims that these processors are no longer supported by Intel, so there will be problems with Creators Update. Most PCs using this processor are all sold in 2013-2014 and run Windows 8. Besides, Acer said that Microsoft is working with them to resolve this incompatibility issue. Don't worry, we have some solutions that you can use.

Use Anniversary Update with extended support.

Thankfully, those affected by this problem do not lose support for Windows 10. The Anniversary Update version will continue to work for all PCs until the expiry date is March 2018.

Besides, Microsoft extended the time to use the Anniversary Update update until January 2023 with users encountering this problem. This means that when Windows 8.1 extension support ends, you may not update the new features in Creators Update but still receive security patches.

Downgrade to Windows 8.1

Besides using the Anniversary Update version, downgrade to Windows 8.1 is also one of the most reasonable options.

Windows 10 Pro PC can downgrade to Windows 8.1 Pro version if you have a product key.

Install Linux

This is a popular choice for users when having trouble with Windows. Linux is 100% free, so you don't need to worry about any problems with licensing or upgrading. It seems that the operating system is better than Windows in some ways or in other words, it is better than Windows.

You may have to get used to different software in Linux and other factors that make you confused, but don't worry, it's just an initial familiarization step. You can see the instructions for installing Ubuntu on Windows below:

Buy a new computer

An expensive option but also a way to solve your problem. Buying a new PC can help you avoid version upgrade issues, but it doesn't seem possible for some users. In my opinion, you should only buy when your computer needs replacing, otherwise wait a few months and enjoy the extended support of the Anniversary Update update.
