I would like to upgrade to win 10 on my PC but not sure if my old components would be ok to run it without bugs or glitches.

Spec is 8gbram, 3570k, 290x, Asus p8z77 premium mobo.

?

Ok thanks. When I get 5 I'll give it a go.

Download the installer from the Microsoft website and give it a whirl. You can activate it once your happy. Or use the free upgrade route if your on Windows 7.

Image your current OS first though, in case you change your mind.

If I image win 7 then use the key on win 10, would the key work still on win7 if I revert back?

Free upgrade route has been dead for 2 years now.

I think there has always been a way to upgrade.

I've downloaded win 10 onto a disc and flash drive just incase. I have a system image that I did about a year ago which should be fine, not added anything much since. Also backed my pics up etc onto another HDD.

Have not done an install for a long time. Anything I need to know before I go ahead? I have a 250gb SSD for the OS and a 2tb WD black HDD for storage.
