Go check with your respective hardware manufacturer website for Windows 10 support. Nowadays many of them should have Windows 10 driver support listed as an option to download from their official website.

Since windows 7 is coming to an end of support, I plan to upgrade to windows 10. If i change to windows 10, does all my driver will come out some faulty or error affected ? Please advise After finish win10 installation, install driver booster or drivermax pro, it could get latest driver for your old hardware. If had budget, upgrade your HDD to SSD & make sure your RAM 8GB or more to run win 10 smooth & fast. This post has been edited by azuradaniel: Sep 10 2019, 04:57 PM |

QUOTE(karthyhu @ Sep 10 2019, 06:10 PM) was just googling found this. yes can try . seems in the comments a few guys were successful. havent try it myself https://windowsreport.com/windows-10-free-upgrade-2018/ i guess one way is to swap out the system drive HD ( do not delete any files ,yet ) with the new SSD . Clean install Win 10 on SSD . check for Activated win 10 . and do test simple checks that all is functional. then next depends if you have a desktop or laptop.

If you have a fairly recent machine (from 2008), it should work fine with Windows 10 Not all old mobo can support windows 10 though The rule of thumb here is - if your machine can run Windows Vista/7 reasonably, then your machine should have no issues running Windows 10 (Note that Windows 10 has even lower requirements than Vista, with only exception is the requirement of additional CPU instruction sets) I used to run Windows 10 64 bit on a dual core Pentium E5200+4GB DDR3+integrated graphics (DG41WV) machine and it worked just fine |

We can't be 100% sure his mobo can run windows 10 by support all the devices onboard now. That's why I need to have a look at his speccy.The rule of thumb here is - if your machine can run Windows Vista/7 reasonably, then your machine should have no issues running Windows 10 (Note that Windows 10 has even lower requirements than Vista, with only exception is the requirement of additional CPU instruction sets) I used to run Windows 10 64 bit on a dual core Pentium E5200+4GB DDR3+integrated graphics (DG41WV) machine and it worked just fine |
