The CPU isn't supported [Windows 10]

I recently was able to get the tray icon for the windows 10 reservation.

I can wait to see what happens with this issue but I would like to know if anyone has information about this error on a computer already running windows 8.1.

Hardware:

Asus Maximus IV Hero

Intel 4770k

16gb ram

>5TB free storage

GTX780x2

from this list of items required:

1. Your device isn’t up-to-date with at least Windows 7 SP1 or Windows 8.1 Update. [running 8.1 currently]

2. Windows Update is turned off or is not set to received updates automatically.[Windows update is currently running and auto updating]

3. You’ve blocked or uninstalled the necessary Windows Update functionality.[no blocks on windows update function]

4. Your device is not running genuine Windows. [is genuine]

5. Your device is running Windows 7 Enterprise, Windows 8/8.1 Enterprise, or Windows RT/RT 8.1, which are excluded from this reservation offer. [windows 8 professional]

6. Your device is managed as part of a school or business network. (Check with your IT administrator.) [personal computer]

7. PCs that we determine cannot run Windows 10 will not see the Get Windows 10 app before July 29th. After July 29th, we’ll enable the icon in the system tray. This is to help ensure that you can easily check your PC’s compatibility if you choose. 

^ this last one is the issue for me. Since I get the error: "The CPU isn't supported" will I not be able to install the update after launch?

There should be no reason that my computer is unable to support windows 10.

If anyone has any ideas it would be appreciated. If not, I will just have to wait and see what happens after launch.

Thanks!
