pavilion a6120n
Microsoft Windows 8.1 (64-bit)

i have a like new HP Pavilion a6120n desktop running windpows 8.1 professional x64,4Gb's of ddr2 PC26400 memory,with the original 325 Gb Hitachi hard drive. It  runs like it just came from the factory because although it is an 07 model it was never turned on until 2017 in november ! bought it at an estate sale in the OEM box,never opened, along with the OEM 19" monitor also in the OEM box and same with the HP keyboard. none of it had ever been opened set up or run. I wiped the drive and installed windows 8.1 professional 64 bit and it's been running like a clock. My question is ,does anyone here know if this will upgrade to windows 10 pro 64 bit and keep on running for a few years yet? it is for all practical purposes a brand new computer . it is running the intel core 2 duo E4400 chipset with intel ViV techmology .

any info on this would be appreciated greatly. thanks . Bill Huff Sr. !

You can try to upgrade it to windows 10...or do a clean install...As long as you are fulfilling the Windows 10 requirements it will work...not as fast as Windows 8.1 but still...try to use the Microsoft upgrade assistant!
