Hi Ed, Microsoft has a tool called the Compatibility Wizard or something like that, you can run & it will tell you if your computer will work with Windows 10. I'm sorry I'm so vague, but I know such a tool exists. Take care. Mike Remember folks, it's tax time! If you add, IRS to the word, the, you get "T H E I R S".

those are the minimum requirements. if you are planning to run JAWS and other programs, you'd need at least 4 GB if not 8 for a smooth experience. that applies with the other requirements as well. the more the better.
