- Hi. Ifound my old HP compaq 615 in storage. How can I get all the latest upgrades or what latest software do I need to get it ready. I want to pass it on to my 8 year old. It has windows 7. Can I download windows 11 or do I need windows 10? It still works very well just the software is outdated. I can't even get Google when connected wifi but I can access YouTube. Please assist me as I'm not tech savvy at all.
Thank you

Hi:
Your notebook only has driver support for Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7.
Below is the link to the driver support page.

The notebook cannot run W11 at all because the processors don't meet Microsoft's minimum W11 hardware requirements.
The notebook may be able to run W10, but you would have to pay for a W10 license and product key.
There's no free upgrade to W10 anymore.
I recommend that you download and install Microsoft Edge for W7 which is now the supported internet browser.
