What about Windows 7? Way superior to Vista. Your video chip, Radeon HD3450 is on the list of chips expressly not supported by Windows 10. Windows 8 would likely work OK but you would be better off with 7 instead of 8. I know for sure 7 will work fine as I have had Windows 7 running on essentially the same model with no issues.
