So personally, I would advise strongly against doing the Win10 Upgrade. 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! HP is no longer producing drivers for the older machines. HP only guarantees Win10 compatibility for machines made after August, 2013. 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. To do that NOW, you would have to PURCHASE Win10 and that's going to cost at least $100 USD.įurthermore, for a successful upgrade, your PC needs to have HP Win10 drivers already available - and yours does not.
