Windows 10: Can an old HP G62 run Windows 10?

Hello,I have this old HP G62 that was on Windows 7 Ultimate. I recently upgraded it to Windows 8.1, and it's working fine.Now, I want to upgrade to Windows 10, but I'm not sure if the computer can handle it. Specs:2nd Gen Intel Core i3 370M6GB RAM300GB 5400RPM HDDCan it handle Windows 10? I will play light games and do simple web browsing mostly.

Hp G62 black screen, fan and hard drive functioning fine

I have an old Hp G62 laptop here.

It has windows 7 on it but im thinking of replacing it with windows 10 at some point soon.

This laptop was working fine until a few weeks ago.

It powers on but shows a black screen. Fan spins fine and i hear the hard drive functioning too. The power light is blue so that looks good. The wireless wifi key shows red and next to the charging cord the light shows red, both solid red.

I tried a hard reset but no luck.

I did find some information in this video @ 7:09 about battery leak.



I tried this last step once and the laptop worked.

After that it did not work and i did not try this again.

I might try that again but it is not a permanent fix.

Any ideas?

 

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
