I have upgraded two older machines and a laptop running Windows 7 to Windows 10 without any problems. They actually run as well as they did under Windows 7. Windows 10 is still very much Windows 7 under the hood. Before doing the upgrade I would uninstall anything you don't use, running CHDSK a native check disk program a couple of times, and defraging your hard drive. Turn off your anti-virus, some get too aggressive during installs. If your machine runs poorly after upgrading or in it's current Windows 7 state, time to buy new, or convert it to Linux Mint. Don't delay, the free upgrade ends soon. Gene
