>>Hi,
>>
>>I am considering upgrading my Windows 7 PC (which I use for all my development) to Windows 10.
>>I bought this Dell PC in 2013, replaced the hard drive to SSD drive some years later. So, as far as the hard disk, I know it has enough for the upgrade.
>>The PC has 16 GB of RAM.
>>Processor: Intel Core (TM) i7-3540M CPU @ 3.00 GHz.

>>Two questions:
>>1. What do you check on this notebook to make sure it is compatible to Windows 10?
>>2. I I choose to reformat the drive and install Windows 10 from zero, does the pc/notebook have enough power to run it?
>>
>>TIA

Thank you for your message. I already use/have the SSD drive on this computer.
Now I am deciding if I should reformat and install every program I have or upgrade.
I would love to hear from those who upgraded Windows 7 to Window 10 and see if they had any issues.
