Windows 10: intel atom x7 z8700 cpu @ 1.6GHZ

Dead in the water on a Surface Pro 3, cant even upgrade to WIn 11....

:)

 

can a windows 10 tablet play games and apps?

No, that Surface has an Intel Quad-Core Atom x7-Z8700 processor, you need to look for a tablet with an Intel i3, i5 or i7 processor . . .

 

intel does not support Windows 10 on atom z2760

So has the updated drivers been released for these?

Unable to upgrade to Windows 10

Hi! I'm running a Surface 3 and looking to upgrade to Windows 10.

My Questions Are:

• Why am I getting a "not up to date" error?
• What specific steps do I take to upgrade?
  
  Details:

• I do not have and have never seen the "Get Windows 10" app.
• I ran the troubleshooter, and received this message: "Unsupported Version"
• The details are: "Windows not up to date" and "The Get Windows 10 App is only for Windows 7 SP1 and Windows 8.1 users."

But I have Windows 8.1. And I am up to date with Windows update, which I have set to update automatically.

My specs are:

• Surface 3
• Intel Atom (TM) x7-Z8700 CPU @ 1.60 GHz
• 4.00 GB Ram
• 64 bit operating system
• Windows 8.1: Windows activated.
