Trying Win 10 on the old computer may be a good idea....... or it may not. I've tried Win 10 now on two computers which are both roughly equivalent and, at least as far as general performance is concerned, Win 10 ran OK.

Both machines are dual core processors with the slowest running at about 2.8 GHz. Both machines are also running four Gb RAM. One (the laptop) has a small SSD for the OS install and a large 750 Gb for file storage. The desktop is a 3.2 GHz dual core with 4 Gb RAM, an 80 Gb SATA for the OS and a large 1 Tb SATA for storage.

Win 10 ran fine on both of these machines (at least performance wise). Now, I never installed any fancy games on either machine so I don't know how that will work. No video, sound or mouse problems. The problems I had with Win 10 were all related to the software.

My guess is that if your machine has four Gb RAM, at least a 60 Gb HD, a decent video card and a dual core processor then it should be worth installing Win 10 on.

I would just recommend you backup anything on that machine before installing Win 10. If you can't afford to lose it, then back it up.

Good luck.
