    Windows 10 after free offer ends


    Lo and behold, this morning I found an extra (unused) Windows 7 Pro disk that I had laying around from goodness knows when! I'll install that bad boy and activate prior to upgrading to 10. I was getting ready to go buy one, since I'm getting the motherboard this coming week, but now I don't have to.

  2. Have upgraded my friends Dell GX 520 to Windows 7 pro ok, but Windows 10 upgrade says the CPU is not compatable...

    I guess it will need upgrading, preferably don't want to change fan PSU etc, ....dells website suggests The fastest processor that we have tested with OptiPlex GX520 is Smithfield 820

    does this sound right ? should this then be ok for a Windows 10 upgrade ?

    thanks

    According to this thread, looks like you need to go with the 32-bit version:
