Hi:

 

Unfortunately, the onboard AMD Radeon graphics adapter that model has, is not supported for W10.

 

If you wanted to install a cheap legacy video card, you could overcome that issue...something like the Nvidia GT 210.

 

You cannot install a video card newer than the Nvidia GT 6xx series or the AMD Radeon HD 6xxx series.

 

Then you can see if you can still get the free upgrade to W10 by reviewing the info at the link below...

I would not buy W10 because it would cost more that that old PC is worth.
