Why GTA V can't run on Windows 10?

I recently bought a retail version of Grand Theft Auto V. I installed it on my laptop and ran the .exe from the game directory but I get the message "This app can't run on your PC. To find a version for your PC, check with the software publisher.". I tried running it as administrator also.

My Specifications:-

Windows 10 Single Language 64 bit

4 GB RAM

GPU: AMD Radeon HD 8670M

CPU: Intel Core i5-4200U 1.6 ghz
