Ninja Trader doesn't accept my AMD APU under Win10Lite

[SimpleUser]

I was Ninja Trader 8.3.1 with Win 10 Pro last years, but for performance I changed to Win 10 Lite. Now, Ninja Trader doesn't accept my AMD APU despite it's recognized correctly by Win10. When I begin to install any Ninja Trader 8.x version, a window is showed "Windows Installer: The instalation package is not compatible with this kind of processor. Call your product developer".

What's happening?

Thanks

The problem is not your cpu.

From my quick Googling, it seems that 'Windows 10 Lite' edition is
not official and is not hosted by Microsoft and is not licensed for
distribution by Microsoft.

In fact, this post from 2018 says "It's a bootleg version of Windows
10 that is illegal and unsafe."

Most other links found by Googling had similar warnings.

I assume the NinjaTrader installer is able to detect your Windows
edition is illegal and reacts with that somewhat generic and
obscure error message about your cpu.

I'd recommend you go back to Windows 10 Pro and work
to improve its performance by using safer tools to decrapify
and declutter that version.

My guess is the decrapification happening in Win10Lite is so
heavy handed it makes the Windows installation appear illegal,
(at least, as far as the NT installer is concerned).

Just my 2˘.

Since version 8.0.27.1, NT8 is an x64 program. If google translate isn't wrong, you have installed x32 version of Windows. You can't use it with any x64 program, including NT. Since you have an x64 CPU, you have to install x64 Windows.

Thank you both very much.
Win10Lite apparently works fine with the rest of the programs I use, no other installations have given errors, so I'm more inclined to think that the problem is, as Leeroy_Jenkins suggests, that the problem comes from the x32 version, because the detail that goes unnoticed in the requirements is that the operating system he mentions has to be 64 bits ..... what a chore.

I will try and confirm the result.

Thank you very much

Fixed installing x64 Win 10 version. Thanks!!!

Ah, a relatively simple fix ... good to know!

Nice catch by Leeroy.
