Windows 10: Need your suggestion : How perfect W-10 for my PC?

You need to check if your processor is compatible. Please follow steps 1 to 4 as described here How To Check If Your Processor (CPU) Supports Windows 8

Your coreinfo.exe output should look like this.

The 3 requirements for either 32 or 64 bit Windows 10 (NX, PAE and SSE2) are highlighted in red.
The 3 additional requirements for 64 bit (CMPXCHG16b, PrefetchW, and LAHF/SAHF) are highlighted in green. Code: Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.10586] (c) 2015 Microsoft Corporation.

A "*" (like in my example above) means your Processor supports that feature.
A "-" means your Processor does not support that feature.

If you are in any doubt please post your results of coreinfo.exe..

As others have said the only other way of telling is to try it and see as some Pentium 4 have the required processor features and some don't.

Running Windows 7 doesn't help with knowing that answer and nor does graphics card. Hyper-V doesn't exist in Windows 7 so please don't worry about that.

 

Thanks..... lx07 I'll try it soon.. Thanks so much.

 

You are most welcome.

 

That was what I found when going to the NVidia site directly to look up how far newer then 7 the drivers went and as you can see the 10 x64 driver is found at http://www.nvidia.in/Download/driver...px/97899/en-in

Note I did run across a number of posts about that model card crashing on 10 but was finding mostly August-Sept. 2015 with this driver only just coming out! Often this will be the case where the manufacturers always seem to take their time coming out with drivers for a new version of Windows up until the first year!I had to run Vista along side 7 for a time since no 64bit Vista drivers were even out yet for the tuner card I had.

Next besides running Coreinfo as lx07 pointed you to some additional system information besides the video card like the make and model board and if you use a separate sound card or expansion cards, nic card(network adapter typically PCI or PCIe for Express), etc. as well as the type of connection you have to see about the rest. First finding out about the cpu of course is must know to see that will be the main obstacle.
