I have Emcahines T5248 Desctop computer. I admit that I do not know much about computer hardware, I just know my computer is a 32 bit, i need it to be 64 bit. And it has 1gb RAM and I need at least 4gb. 

This is a conputer that I got for free when the laptop my brother uses broke and I plan to have this one for about a year, so I do not want to put much money into it.

i was told that since the conputer has a lisence for Widnows 7 uktimiat that it may be eligiable for Windows 10. But i do not know if it can handle it.

    Hi and thanks for reaching out. My name is William. I'm a Windows technical expert. I'll be happy to help you out today.

    Windows 10 requirements are here: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/402814...

    Note, based on known configuration for this computer, it cannot support 4 GBs. Max is 2 GBs in 1x1 configuration. This meets the minimum requirement of 2 GBs for 64bit Windows 10, but you will be at the bottom end and I would expect performance to severely handicapped.

    You could mitigate that to some degree with an SSD shard drive to accommodate fast page file and video card with dedicated video RAM. However, now you have to add the cost of Windows 10 Home License since technically the free upgrade from Windows 7 to Windows 10 has expired. There are some sites reporting that it still works, but I cant speak to whether or not that is true.

    Taking those costs into consideration, you can likely find a faster and cheaper alternative with Windows 10 pre-installed from large retailers like Walmat, Costco, or refurbished computers on Ebay.
