Windows 7 is going extinct (or at least will no longer be supported for free) on Jan. 15. Here's what you need to do if you have this system running on your computer.
Even though your old computer may meet the minimum requirements, there are a couple of upgrades you may want to consider to make things work better. Upgrading your RAM to at least 4 GB and switching out your old mechanical hard drive for a much faster Solid State Drive will substantially improve the performance of an older computer.There are pros and cons to any approach you may take to upgrade to Windows 10, so understanding the potential issues is helpful.
Upgrading your existing system with all of your programs and data in place may sound like the best way to go, but it may be the most technically problematic. Any hidden preexisting issues that your current OS might be experiencing along with a myriad of potential driver issues and software compatibility surprises can cause lots of problems during or after the upgrade.
Installing a new hard drive or wiping everything off your old one and installing Windows 10 from scratch is the cleanest way to go, but you may still experience driver issues if the generic drivers that Microsoft includes aren’t a good match for your old hardware. If this happens, you’ll need to be able to determine the actual manufacturer of various internal hardware components in order to see if Windows 10 drivers have been created by a third-party.
The other challenge to a fresh installation is that you’ll need to install any programs that you want to use from scratch as well as restore your data from a backup. You’ll want to track down installation disks, downloads and product keys before you decide to go this route.Make sure you calculate the costs involved for acquiring a Windows 10 license, upgrading any hardware or paying someone to make it all work for you.
