Will my Gigabyte GA-P55M-UD2 motherboard run Win 10? If so, what version?

Hi- I see the Win 10 compatibility application is no longer available. I tried upgrading my computer to Win 10 back during the free period and it didn't work. I assumed it was because my components were too old. I see here on the forums though that some older MoBo's can still run older versions of Win 10 and I was wondering how I might determine if mine can, and how I would go about doing the upgrade (I'm not very computer savvy). I don't want to purchase Win 10 to find out that my computer simply can't run it.

My mobo is a Gigabyte GA-P55M-UD2. My CPU is an i5-760, in case that matters.

Thanks!

    Hi Tim,

    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

    I appreciate your interest in Windows 10. Thank you for sharing the details.

    Upon checking the details provided by you, and I see that the manufacturer provides drivers only up to Windows 7. For more information, see GA-P55M-UD2(rev. 1.1)

    There are some older motherboards, which supports Windows 10. Ideally, you may also require Windows 10 supporting driver and firmware updates from the hardware manufacturer, which currently is not available for your motherboard. However, it would be advisable to upgrade your computer hardware, to avoid any issues that may arise due to compatibility and you may also face performance issues in the future, for smooth running of Windows 10.​

    Let us know if you need any further assistance, we will be glad to help you.
