Tech Support Guy System Info Utility version 1.0.0.4
OS Version: Microsoft Windows 8.1, 64 bit
Processor: AMD A8-4500M APU with Radeon(tm) HD Graphics, AMD64 Family 21 Model 16 Stepping 1
Processor Count: 4
RAM: 5602 Mb
Graphics Card: AMD Radeon HD 7640G, 512 Mb
Hard Drives: C: 569 GB (522 GB Free); 😧 25 GB (3 GB Free);
Motherboard: Hewlett-Packard, 184B
Antivirus: Windows Defender, Disabled
Think the above specs will meet system requirements to let me upgrade to Windows 10? I don't have anything that is important enough to backup. I have made a Recovery Drive on a Flash drive in case I would need it to go back to Windows 8.1
I don't have not installed any hardware ever on this PC. I can download and install any software after the upgrade. Where can I get a link to download Windows 10 upgrade?
What do you thing?
