Hi:

 

Your notebook is not supported by HP for W10.  It may work fine, or it may not.

 

The only way you will be able to know would be to give W10 a try.  I would not buy it.

 

You should be able to still get the free upgrade to W10 by clicking on the blue Update Now button at the link below.

 

Download Windows 10 (microsoft.com)

 

This article explains how you can still get the free upgrade.

If things don't work to your expectations, you have 30 days to go back to W7 as long as you don't delete any files or the windows.old folder.
