Hi:

 

There are no W10 drivers for your notebook's Intel/AMD switchable graphics configuration.

 

Most likely there will be no W10 driver for the Bluetooth or audio either.

 

Also, there is no longer a free upgrade from W7>W10, so you would have to pay for a W10 license and product key.

 

In short, I would not install W10 on your PC.

 

If you want to install a 2.5" SATA SSD, that would be fine, but leave your notebook on W7 64 bit.
