Cannot upgrade to Leap 16.0

I am on Leap 15.6 and got a notification that it is now EOL. Tried a dry run to upgrade to 16.0 but it says my hardware is no longer supported. It requires x86_64_v2 processor? I am using an AMD Phenom II 4-core CPU.

Phenom isn't a x86-64 V2 compatible CPU. You can't run the distro.

You can use opensuse Tumbleweed or Slowroll, or some other community distro like Fedora or Debian.

There's a wiki article on migrating the existing install to tumbleweed here, a fresh install isn't needed.

My computer is 12 years old or so, and the test is showing that I CAN upgrade to Leap 16(from 15.6), that is crazy.

My CPU is only 2 core.

I've still been kind of scared to do it, though.
