Should I upgrade to Windows 10 with my hardware?

Hi! I really want to try Windows 10, but I don't know if it's gonna be compatible. I'm not sure, even though the compatibility tool says everything is ok. Also, I don't know how will it perform. Now I have Windows 7 64 bit Home Premium and it runs great. Little problems start when I try multitasking a lot, byt except that, everything is gret. 

My specs are:
 

CPU: Intel Pentium Dual CPU @ 2.20 GHz 

GPU: GT 220 1GB

RAM: 4GB DDR2

MOBO: Gigabyte GA-946GM-S2

 

What do you think? Should I?

Don't worry :) I'm actually upgrading after summer (because prices in my country are higher on summer), but I still plan to use this PC for something. I may upgrade it for a cheap price and use it as a personal server or something like that. I'll maybe throw Q6600 and a GT 250 in there (My friend has one that he doesn't need and he said he can give it to me). I probably won't upgrade RAM, because this board doesn't support more than 4GB, but I can try to find a cheap but good LGA 775 board that does. Thank you for your post :) You actually told me why is it ok to upgrade and not just "Yes" or "No".
