Hello, I am trying to install Catalina. My notebook is a Sansumg RV411 with INTEL CORE i5 m460 2.53ghz processor with 8gb memory. I reach the installation screen and receive the message "this version of macOS 10.15.3 cannot be installed on this computer." https://photos.google.com/share/AF1QipPwGv1AkL9C0njqNZ9CdHf6r1pW00UFCWdcNfl5cJOxUbD-pmPr3XKcv88iwqcTCQ/photo/AF1QipPKvS6lMOYMOzEMSw3u_fyHHGKN7vkPEyWcsJSk?key=VFl6YUg2a1doRFZ3dXRqZy0yb3VpZldkLS1Cemtn Is it possible to solve this?
