I have Intel i5-4200u . Earlier the windows get application showed that my laptop can run windows 10. But it performed another check on 13-6-15 and it now shows that my c.p.u is not supported.Is this c.p.u supported or is there some other problem? Thank you.

Maybe some features are disabled in BIOS and that is why the CPU gets listed as unsupported. Check CPU-related settings in BIOS and enable them.

Can you specify CPU-related settings? I couldn't find anything that may effect this. – URS – 2015-06-16T18:16:12.140
Names vary a lot from one BIOS configuration to another. Usually, in many BIOSes the main menu is called CPU features. – Overmind – 2015-06-17T09:53:17.853

According to Microsoft, Windows 10 requires a 1 GHz or faster CPU.
Apart from this the CPU should support PAE (Physical Address Extension), NX (No-eXecute) and SSE2.
The Intel i5 4200U supports all these instructions and you can validate it by running CPU-Z. Only thing is that Intel's way of saying its CPU supports PAE and NX is to look for the EM64T and VT-x/VT-d instruction respectively is present or not in the set of intrusions listed by CPU-Z.
I am posting my i5 4200U's CPU-Z screenshot for your convenience.
So you are good to try Windows 10.

1Windows 10 would definitely work with this processor.
However, if it is saying it is not supported, I would recommend speaking to Microsoft, perhaps they may have more of an idea. – Elliot Harrison – 2015-06-16T08:40:31.793
