Windows 10: Windows 10 on OLD COMPUTERS

Continuing the legacy of hackerman1.

Here's the thread about Windows 10 installations on OLD COMPUTERS ! .

I start with my computer here .

NOTE : As of Windows 8.1 there's NO LONGER the WEI (Windows Experience Index) benchmark from Microsoft , so you will have to install this 3rd Party WEI : Windows Experience Index on Windows 10 and on Windows 8.1 - ChrisPC Win Experience Index - Get WEI Base Score, CPU Score, Memory Score, Gaming Score, Graphics Score, Storage Score - FREE Download - Chris P.C. srl

Windows 10 old computer transfer to new Windows 10 computer

If I download new Windows 10 to my old Windows 7 computer & then transfer Windows 10 to new computer will it simplify the process. Old computer is in need of replacement

 

Hardware upgrade to get ready for Windows 10

Before you buy windows 10 for that old computer, download the Windows 10 upgrade tool to see if windows 10 will run. I have a few old computers that windows 10 does not support.

 

Is this supposed to be old hardware? Heck I am running Win 10 32 bit on a Foxconn Motherboard, with DDR2 633 4gb ram, a Dual Pentium @ 2Ghz and 2 20 gb IDE hard drives, and it runs perfect, slow, but perfect.

 

Just who is thehackerman1?? And why should we know who he is??

 

This hardware was never changed since it was build in summer of 2012 . It's almost 4 years old.

 

He was very famous due to the post views , media attention and the way he put Win7 to run on Dual P1 and P2 CPUs at the time

Never heard of him. And what does this have to do with the link you have in the OP??

The title is a bit misleading?? Trying to sell something??

 

The idea of the CAPS LOCK title was taken from similar Win7 on OLD computers thread that was made by another user at that time as well.

But i put all in CAPS because there are few threads about Windows 10 installations on old computers , on Forums and other media.

 

Huh?? There is very little in the thread about installing 10 on old computers. It's just about a link to a third party tool.

 

I kept the thread simple and visually appealing , it's not about how big the topic is , it's about sharing details like WEI and Speccy info .

That's pretty much about it.

 

Oh and that link in the OP starts the download automatically and that might not what users here would want to see happen.

 

fixed now redirects to official site without auto download.
