I have a family member with a HP Compaq Presario CQ43 which has an AMD E300 1.30-GHz processor, 2gb ram, a 240gb ssd with paging and Windows 7 Home Basic 64-bit. Should I upgrade it to Windows 10 and would it lose performance?

Depends what he/she uses it for, I would personally install Linux on the laptop. I'll be much better.
