    I ran it on pretty old stuff, although it doesn't run particularly well. The drivers for the 5670 seem to go up to 2016 and they probably include the control center. That's a dual core CPU. I'm quite sure I ran Win10 even on single core Pentium IV, and memory is fuzzy now, but also an even older Sempron.
    Windows 7 will be snappier though on these low end PCs. Yours might be borderline OK tho'. The 7GB of RAM is kind of worrying. Are you mixing RAM with different latencies/specs? Could cause instability.

    I don't know. Where can I see that?
    I am running my PC with that RAM for quite a while now, and there hasn't been any signs of instability under Windows 7. Are you saying that could be an issue under Windows 10?

    7GB ram usable or installed (installed would mean either, 3 x 2 + 1 x 1GB modules, or 1 x 4 + 1 x 2 + 1 x 1GB modules)?
     
  4. Windows 10 is working here on a Athlon 64 X2, I‘m Running as Server with 4 GB of RAM and 500 GB SSD for Windows 10.

    I think you should only upgrade to a SSD, but the other specs are good.

    I have one 4 GB module, a 2 GB module, and 1 GB more, all purchased throughout the years. I know it's not ideal, but I haven't had any problems so far.

    I was thinking about that, but I'm not quite sure my motherboard (AliveNF5-eSATA2+) will support it. Besides, I'm trying to save some money to definitely buy a new PC, so I don't see the point on upgrading this one any longer. Thank you for your comment, though!

    But it can cause problems eventually, running memtest86 would be a good idea with different modules mixed, or just start the upgrade (in the past it reported incompatible stuff before starting the upgrade itself), and see :)
