Hello all i have a quick question about the Windows Store system requirements. there are a few games in the Store i know my comp can play but i can't install cuz its saying my system doesn't meet the system requirements.

I was wondering if anybody knows of a way to bypass the requirements part and make me able to install the games i would like to try? a few being Dungeon Hunter 4, Total Conquest, Despicable Me Minion Rush. it even says i can't install NESBox which is a emulator for NES, SNES, and Sega which i know my pc can deffently play

Your PC meets any requirements that can be declared in Windows Store at the moment. Problem is, you must use "Administrator" or personal Windows account (and/or being signed into your Microsoft Account) in order to install some of these apps, because they require additional privileges to setup and run.

I just tried to install every single app you've mentioned, and I ran into no problem. Compare my laptop's specs to your desktop monster, and I'm sure thing will become clearer to you.

Added: you can also try to rebuild your Windows Store Apps cache. Just press "Windows + R", then type "wsreset.exe" and execute that using "Enter" button. It's completely harmless, so feel free to try any combinations.

I think you need to upgrade to Windows 8.1 !!!
According to Constantine's specs, he's running Windows 8.1 so it's a bit normal he can install these apps and you are unable.
Upgrade to Windows 8.1 and you can install these apps. It's not your system configuration because the official app of Facebook for Windows 8 doesn't require
anything but I am unable to install while I am playing Asphalt 8 !

well clearing the cache didn't work. So the only thing i can think of is i need 8.1.

Edit: Well found out i did need 8.1 for thoes games to work.

So I have a tablet EWT816-BL that has Windows 8.1 with Bing as the operating system and I am getting the same error message the OP had.
I understand his was due to not having 8.1 but mine does have it.
As for specs it has higher specs than my "Blue Win HD" phone which was able to download the game.

Anyone have any suggestions on this?

I am trying to install Total Conquest and get the system requirements error message and can not seem to find a way to get it installed.

(Edit)

Sorry for replying on an old thread. I just thought since this one even showed up on google and was the exact same error as the OP on one of the exact same games that it might be better to reply to this than to start a new one that's basically the same thing and risk getting referred to this as my answer.
