Can I use any windows for my PC. I use to used windows 7 and now its infected by virus. Therefore I want to install windows 10 instead. Is that possible?

What factor that determine our windows option?

Is it the PC specs?

You can probably install windows 10 onto it as long as it isn't a ridiculously old PC, the only other thing you need to know is if your processor is 32 or 64 bit, just about anything in recent years will be 64 bit but if it's an older computer you should probably check.

 

What are the specs, anyway? anything recent will do fine with Windows 10.

Specs: CPU: AMD Ryzen R7 3700X @4.4Ghz, GPU: Gigabyte RX 5700 XT, RAM: 32 GB (2x 8GB Trident Z Royal + 2x 8GB TForce Vulkan Z) @3000Mhz, Motherboard: ASRock B550m Steel Legend, Storage: 1x WD Black 1Tb NVMe (boot) + 1x Samsung 860 QVO 1Tb SSD (storage), Case: Thermaltake Core V21, Cooler: Noctua NH-D15

Along with Windows 10, i would recommend that you also install a security solution. There are free options from almost all major brands at this point so you wont be left alone.
Try Kaspersky Free or Avast!, Bitdefender, Malwarebytes you name it. Good luck.
