Old pc windows 10 upgrade

[Adicti0ns]

Hi guys i'v got a fairly old pc that i'v changed a lot over the years to keep up and I was wondering if I should expect any issues installing windows 10. My computer consist of.

Silverstone PS11 case

Gigabyte GA-P55A-UD3 mother board

Gigabyte HD7870 OC graphics card

intel i5 750 Overclocked to 3.5ghz

Avexer 2X4 gb ram

Coolermaster 212 evo

 

What is the best way to install the upgrade without any activation issues, I don't have my windows 7 key any more. Will i get to keep office? Will all games still work including some older games. I am worried because of the age of some of the components.

should work fine and you wont need your key as long as windows is activated, use the media creation tool from microsoft to make a usb drive and then you can install from that while in windows, you will be able to keep all your files and programs just know some games/programs may not work in win 10

It'll work without any problems.

 

Best way for upgrading is download the ISO from this site

 

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10

 

And you get to keep the ISO for future use.

 

If your Windows 7 is Home Premium or Home Basic, You'll have to download Windows 10 Home, If it is a Pro or Ultimate version, You'll have to

 

download Windows 10 Pro version. And then burn that ISO in a DVD, Use it for upgrade process. You won't need need the Windows key for

 

Upgrade process.

Thanks may I add that I also kinda want it to clear most items like a fresh install. Still use the same method and keep office? and will it stay activated?
