My question is whether you can upgrade any PC or laptop from Windows 7 (Home Premium) to Windows 10? Also in terms of performance. Can it be that certain devices can't cope with Windows 10? Are there certain requirements for upgrading to Windows 10? If so, which and where can I check whether the requirements are met?
Tell me your hardware and I'll tell you if it's compatible
But normally everything should go well
Your device should definitely have an SSD, otherwise it comes with WIn10 and crashes.
What exactly? XDDD I know 0.
Don't have an SSD…
Sub-categorize all in the device manager
So an HDD? (Hard disk with rotating thing)? Because it is important so that the computer runs well, programs start, start up and co.
Win 7 has fewer requirements, so win 10 would run slower!
Windows 10 also runs smoothly with an HDD.
But should be a quick one
You don't need an SSD for Windows 10
But it doesn't have to be
Processor: Intel (R) Core (TM) i5-3570 CPU @ 3.40 GHz
Graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660
x64-based PC
I also have 16 GB of RAM, if that is somehow important
Yes should go

This tool helps you
(check beforehand if everything fits)
Read you have no ssd
Buy one:

This is enough
Yes, I think xD I don't need the fastest PC either, the main thing is that it runs. I would like to be a little lenient
Do you report from experience?
Do you speak from experience?
The question is how much slower xDD
It's not that general, we don't even know your laptop specs! But I would still switch to win 10 because win 7 no longer has support!
That means it checks whether the PC with Windows 10 works "fairly well" / is it okay?
YES but such an SSD would be good because otherwise windows sehr very slow
Yes, I installed Windows 10 on a 13 year old computer with an HDD. Why should not that work? Memory is memory.
Was also a rhetorical question. Yes, that's why it's time to update
Sounds promising.
Well, I can get it afterwards if necessary
At the start, the upgrade checks whether the computer is compatible. If not, nothing happens.
Do you have to try if you are lucky the hdd goes very slowly…
You have to know
But you need at least 4 GB of RAM, but that's really the maximum lower limit. Best 8 GB RAM. If you only have 2 GB it is not possible, then you would have to upgrade RAM.
Of course, you can also install a super-fast SSD, but as I said HDD works.
I have 16 GB of RAM?
In my experience with an ancient Intel Core Duo, it has gotten faster.
Windows 10 runs on the computer!
Well done.
Perfect.
Doesn't run slower than Windows 7
Yes, sure
Yes that's true. Windows 10 starts a little faster than 7. I noticed that too.
One more thing. Do I have to reinstall any drivers after the update?
Windows 10 would have to do everything myself if not I would be happy to help you
Thanks anyway. Because I saw in some videos that you can choose whether you want to keep programs and files or delete everything (probably wouldn't be bad either)
No you should only stop at e.g. Firefox have an account to save the data or copy your profile to a USBNB stick because otherwise your browser data will be gone
Well, YouTube account, logged into a couple of websites and occasionally play a few browser games. I don't need to save anything if I know all my passwords, right?
Yes I mean because I e.g. 15 bookmarks have 7 addons etc. Different settings that you can't get back in 10 minutes
Ahh ok. I will now start it on my laptop, the update, then see how it works. If he can do it, my PC will go anyway, I think xD
The https://www.google.com/...9_VWpAqTpH checks beforehand whether your PC is compatible.
Download it, run it, and when you get the green light: create installation media.
What exactly do you mean by creating installation media?
Exactly what the words say.
If you do not know what a data medium or an installation is, you lack basic know-how that I can't teach you now. Sorry.
Maybe so much: What do you want to install Windows with, if not with an installation disk?
Yes, I was concerned with creating the word. I guess what a disk and an installation is
Thank you
Did it work out?
Earned. Not on my laptop, I was told that it could not be determined whether there was enough space. Didn't want to start it again, the download took an hour the first time (didn't have the best internet) and it looked as if he downloaded everything again the second time, then I canceled it.
I haven't tried PC yet
Ah okay
