Hi there, this is Nehal from Feni, Bangladesh. I have an old laptop (Dell Inspiron 700m) which doesn't support windows 10. Because of it's low configurations. My Laptop's configurations are below:

  • Intel Pentium M 725 (Dothan 1.6GHz Pentium M Processor)
  • 1GB RAM.
  • 12.1 WXGA Widesceen.
  • Intel PRO/Wireless 2200 (802.11 b/g) Internal Wireless.
  • 40GB Ultra ATA Hard Drive, 4200 RPM.
  • 32 WHr 4-cell Lithium-Ion Battery.
  • Windows XP Home, Service Pack 1.
  • 24x Combo DVD/CD-RW Optical Drive.

Now my questions for according to this matter, is there anyway to upgrade OS in this system ? 

Please anybody help me about this matter.

Thank you very much. :)

    Hi Md.NehalUddin

    You must install the same edition of Windows 10 which was previously installed on that device, is there a Windows 10 sticker on the bottom casing and if so, what edition (Home, Pro . . etc) is reported on that?

    Hello Md.NehalUddin

    Do you mean is there any way to install Windows 10 on that device?

    If so, then I am sorry, that will not be possible, your network card, processor and graphics device are not supported on Windows 10, you would not be able to get device drivers for those for Windows 10

    Also your processor is not fast enough for Windows 10 and you do not have enough RAM either, sorry . . .

    Hi Md.NehalUddin

    The best thing to do on that Pc is to continue using Windows 7, that is perfect for that PC, you should install a 3rd party anti-virus to keep you safe, because you will no longer get security updates, there are plenty of free ones available . ..

    Thank you for your wishes, and stay safe and healthy yourself!

    Thank you my friend :) !! Which pack of win7 is better for my system ? Because I really forgot which pack was my previous win7. Please brother don't laugh. I have been using since 4 years of this operating system.

    Though I have well configured Laptop (HP),which is core i5, 8th generation, 8GB of RAM, 1TB HDD. 4 GB of Radeon Graphics and etc. 

    Thank you again for your kind mention. :) 

    Cheers :)

    Thank you very much Dave for reply me. Can you suggest me at least, what should I do at this moment ? Because I used previously windows 7, but there was a news I heard that, after February this 2020, Microsoft will not online support for the windows 7 operating system. For this reason what should I do ? Please my friend suggest me kindly. 

    Thank you very much again :) 

    Take care and stay safe @wherever you are for the present Corona disaster. May god save all human beings.
