Hello @Dante_OD

Welcome to the HP Support forum. Thank ou for posting.

No, Windows 10 drivers are no available and Windows 10 is not officially supported by HP on this PC model.

HP hasn't tested the device with Win 10 and some hardware might not work properly under Windows 10.

You might be able to install Windows 10 if you wish to test but you will be on your own

If you run Win 7 now I strongly recommend you continue doing so.

If you wish you want to test/experience, here are instructions.

** It is recommended that you create a back up of most important files and you may want to try WIn 10

Microsoft offers 90 day free evaluation copy of 10 >> https://www.microsoft.com/en-in/evalcenter/evaluate-windows-10-enterprise

All that is needed from you is to register with Microsoft account, download the ISO image and burn it on a blank DVD

or write it on a USB.

Here is an example  (example is with Ubuntu but works the same way with Windows ISO)

* How to create bootable ISO on USB device >> http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/create-a-usb-stick-on-windows

or

* How to write ISO to DVD >> http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/burn-a-dvd-on-windows

Eventually, boot the PC (F9) from Windows 10 media

Follow the on-screen instructions to install it.

Post-update, ensure your drivers are updates using the Device Manager method -> https://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c03330139

Update all major componets and run Windows Update.

You can test for about 90 days before you decide if you want to purchase a license from somewhere and reinstall a full version.

Hope this helps.
