Ed, Mike, and anyone else, research shows it's called the Windows 10
Compatibility Appraiser:
http://www.zdnet.com/article/will-your-pc-run-windows-10-use-this-well-hidden-compatibility-checker-to-find-out/
If you want to check your own Windows 10 upgrade report, follow these
steps. Note that you must have installed KB3035583 for the Get Windows
10 app and its associated icon to be available. You'll find it in
Windows Update, as a Recommended update for Windows 8.1 and an Optional
update for Windows 7.
Step 1: Right-click the Get Windows 10 icon (on the right side of the )
and then click "Check your upgrade status."
Step 2: In the Get Windows 10 app, click the hamburger menu, which looks
like a stack of three lines (labeled 1 in the screenshot below) and then
click "Check your PC" (2).
Step 3: See the list of potential compatibility issues. The list
includes separate categories for devices and apps.
the JAWS cursor and convenient OCR might have to be used since I blocked
the offer for Windows 10. steps 2 and 3 may or not be necessary since I
believe the Appraiser does all of it's checking and then it can be
reviewed. but I'm not absolutely sure.

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

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.

Hi Jorge,
I did look up the spec that Microsoft says it takes to run W10
They say it can run on
. Processor: 1 gigahertz (GHz) or faster
. RAM: 1 gigabyte (GB) (32-bit) or 2 GB (64-bit)
. Free hard disk space: 16 GB
. Graphics card: Microsoft DirectX 9 graphics device with WDDM driver

Ed,
So, it's a 2 gig laptop,
That might be to small.
The reason, I know is this laptop that I'm working on was also a 2 gig
laptop, I had it increase to 4 gigs to run window 7 and jaws and what
ever?

Hi Everyone,
I have and old laptop that use to be my work pc. It has XP Pro on it for
an
operating system. Also It has two batteries and they are just like new.
It
was never use more than maybe 75 to 100 hours is a guess. I was wondering
what your opinion would be if it would be good enough for my wife to use.
All she does is email, Facebook and does some searching on the web. I want
to put Windows 10 on it and Jaws so I can do maintenance on it. My wife
does not need Jaws. So she would be using it with just Windows 10 so I am
wondering if it would be good enough for that. I know the ram is pretty
low. Here are the spec on the laptop.
Dell Vostro 1720
IntelR Core 2 Duo CPU
T570 @ 2.10GHz
2.09 GHz, 1.96 GB of RAM
Any suggestions and opinions would be appreciated.
Ed
