Can I install WINDOWS 10 on my HP Pavilion Notebook G6 2320tx after a RAM upgrade from 4GB to 8GB?

Current specs:

Windows 8 Single Language 64-bit

You can certainly try that -- but there are two limitations.

First, sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but the problem you're up against is that Microsoft only supplies drivers with the most basic functionality, and what you really need for FULL functionality is the specialized drivers written for the specific hardware found in your HP PC -- and unfortunately, there are no HP Win10 drivers for your PC. HP only guarantees Win10 compatibility for machines made after August, 2013. HP is no longer producing Win10 drivers for the older machines.

This means that your PC is most likely NEVER going to be fully functional under Win10 because the drivers it needs for full functionality simply do not exist! This is especially true if your PC has switchable graphics because, in this case, the ONLY drivers that will work properly are the OEM drivers that were written for that hardware.

That said, there are others on this forum that have access to Win10 drivers and may know of some from a different PC that are compatible with yours. If they reply to this thread, then you will be able to find the drivers you need.

Second, some of the older laptops complain if you try to install Windows with more than the default amount of memory loaded. If this happens to you, then simply remove the added memory, install Win10, and add back the memory after the installation is complete.
