s5306uk windows 10 update compatibility

[s5306uk]

Anyone know whether I can install Windows 10 on a HP s5306uk (Win 7) slimline please?

I cannot seem to get a definitive answer anywhere.

Thank you

Hi:

Unless someone has actually upgraded that model recently and can report one way or the other, no one will be able to give you a definite answer to your question.

I looked at the specs for your PC, and processor and graphics-wise, it can run W10.

Things that may not work after the upgrade...wifi adapter, multimedia card reader.

I certainly would not risk paying to upgrade from W7 to W10.

You may still be able to upgrade to W10 for free.  See the info at the link below.

You can try to upgrade to W10 by clicking on the blue Update Now button at the link below.

If you are asked to enter a product key during the upgrade process, select the 'I don't have a product key' option.

If things don't work out on W10, you have 30 days to revert to W7 as long as you don't delete any files.

Many thanks.

I actually bought a disk with serial recently, just in case (I can return it unopened if I cannot use it).

I have also downloaded the Media Creation tool and created an installation USB.

I guess it's worth trying the upgrade using the USB and if absolutely necessary using the serial contained within the purchased DVD-ROM.

I am reluctant, but you dont get anywhere if you dont try !!

Thanks for the advice.
