Windows 10 Can I run windows 10?
I have an old pc, which has Intel Core 2 Duo E4500 processor, 1GB DDR2 Ram, 500GB hdd, g31 motherboard. Windows 7 32bit runs quite good on it. If I add ram, and increase it to 3/4GB ram. Will it run windows 10 64bit perfectly, Or I'll have to use windows 10 32bit instead?- mesabbir
