Product: ThinPro 7.1
Operating System: Linux

We have fair few HP T530 running on thinpro 7.1

 

We are having problems with smartcard readers , and was looking into the possibility of upgrading to windows 10 with out having to replace the hardware.

 

Fully understand there would be an OS cost into doing this.

 

I know one know if this is possible. ?

What sort of problems? Details? Error-messages?

 

You can purchase a Windows 10 product-key through the "Windows Store" app, on any computer running Windows 10.

Then,: Download Windows 10 (microsoft.com)

to get the "Windows Installer".

 

As to whether your hardware will support Windows 10, I just do not know.  You'll have to give it a try on one computer.

Hint: remove the existing disk-drive, and temporarily install an empty "spare" disk-drive, and try to install to it. 

If it does not go well, remove that disk-drive, and reconnect the original disk-drive.
