Windows 10: Windows 10 Compatibility for HP DV6?

Windows 10 Compatibility for HP DV6?
==========================================

Thanks for replies to my postings.

My HP Pavillion dv6-2066dx AMD processor came with OEM installed Win 7 and AMD processor.

As Microsoft stopped Win 7 updates, I am thinking of getting to win 10

I am hearing stories that say win 10 is not compatible with HP Pavillion dv6-2066dx AMD processor.

I did find the DIY 2019 tax software claims , it has issues with win 7 laptop install and it will not work
properly with win 7 .

We know that win 10 is not stable either.

What are the options , I have ?

Thanks for your guidance.

:)
