I was really excited when i found out about Forza Motorsport 6 Apex Beta. I thought it would be great to have Forza with me wherever I go. However, when I went to the Windows 10 Store, it would not let me download the game. It says that my computer does not meet the requirements to run the game, and it says I need an i7 processor. When I go to see the requirements online (link here:News - Forza) it says that the minimum requirement to run the game is an i3 processor, which I have. Could anyone please help me figure this out?
Since you’re not posting any system-specs, it is very hard to judge if the Store is right
My OS is Windows 10 home 64 bit, I have intel core i3-2350m, My graphics card is IntelR HD 3000, I have 1362 MB of HD space, I have 4096 MB of RAM, and I have directX version 11.1. I hope this is enough information to figure out the problem.
Here is some of the stuff from the dxdiag.

Hello.
Yes you have an i3. But not every red car is a Ferrari …
You have an i3 2350M, but minimum requirement is an i3 4170.
The differences are massive, as you can read here:
Then your GPU. You don’t have a dedicated GPU. And your iGPU (Intel HD3000) compared to the minimum required GeForce GT740 is a … disaster.
Your RAM. You need 8 GB. You only have 4 GB. Not bad enough, your RAM is shared by your CPU and iGPU.
And the worst thing to come. Your system does not support DX12.
FM6Apex is ab DX12 (only!) game.
Without any disrespect, but your laptop wasn’t designed for high-end-gaming, it wasn’t even designed for gaming at all.
What you want to do is … take part in a Formula 1 race, … with a bicycle.
Sry … but welcome to the ‘fantastic’ world of pc gaming
Thanks for the help. I guess I’ll have to get Forza 6 on XBox if I want to play it. Not surprised that my pc can’t run it though.
