    Processor

    AMD A4-5300 APU with Radeon(tm) HD Graphics 6.0
    5.5​
    Determined by lowest subscore
    Memory (RAM) 8.00 GB 5.5
    Graphics AMD Radeon HD 7480D 6.6
    Gaming graphics 1772 MB Total available graphics memory 6.6
    Primary hard disk 812GB Free (931GB Total)

    This is a machine that I built 2006 to my satisfaction. I really don't want to have to purchase another machine and my question is will windows 10 run on this machine?

    I know how to back up all my data so I should not have any problem transferring.

    :)

    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

    Installing Windows 10 on New PC?

    I'm going to be building a new PC on Christmas and want to install Windows 10 on it. I have Windows 10 on my current PC, which I installed upgrading from 8.1 with the files on a USB. How do I go about installing a clean copy of Windows 10 on this new PC? I think I recall something about installing it once makes Microsoft recognize your hardware, but since this will be a PC I'm not sure what steps I need to take. Do I need to go 8.1 -> 10 or is there a method of going directly to 10?
