You can no longer get a free upgrade to W10 since Microsoft closed the loophole a year ago that allowed users to continue to get the free upgrade to W10 after the official free upgrade period ended in 2016.

 

That means you have to pay around $100 to purchase a W10 Home premium license and product key, or remain on W8.1.

 

Your notebook supports 2 x 4 GB of DDR3L-1600 MHz memory.

 

This should be a supported 4 GB memory chip.

 

Crucial RAM 4GB DDR3 1600 MHz CL11 Laptop Memory CT51264BF160B at Amazon.com

 

You can replace the 320 GB HDD with a 500 GB 2.5" SSD.

 

I recommend this one:

 

Amazon.com: Western Digital 500GB WD Blue SA510 SATA Internal Solid State Drive SSD - SATA III 6 Gb/...

You're very welcome, Danny.

 

I don't see any reason why your PC shouldn't be able to run W10. 

 

Cheers,
