Pavilion Elite e9160f & Windows 10?

CLC_Rosedale · ‎07-08-2021

I'm the office secretary at my church & we were just gifted a used HP Pavilion Elite e9160f desktop PC.

It's currently running Windows 7 Pro 64-bit (SP1).

We would like to upgrade the OS to Windows 10, but are unsure if this PC can run Windows 10.

Does anyone know if our hardware and Windows 10 are compatible?

Thanks.

Hello
this computer, is original with vista it seems
It is unfortunately too old, and no longer in support at hp
And even if this had been the case, hp does not provide drivers for older models.
You could probably install windows 10, but some devices might not work correctly, and it is impossible or quite difficult to find the drivers for windows 10
If you can do it, possibly do a test without erasing the original system, at best for example with another hard drive.
If that doesn't work, you can just replace the original HDD
