Should I Upgrade My Older PC To Windows 10?
Hi all,
I have a PC that is older that I've customized to be a gaming PC for my wants and needs.
Here are the specs:
CPU: Intel core i5 650 dual core 3.20ghz
MOBO: Intel DQ57TM
OS: Windows 7 Home Premium
RAM: 12GB ddr3
HDD: 250GB Western Digital
GPU: Nvidia GeForce GTX 960 2GB vRAM
I'd like to buy windows 10 after I get myself a new hard drive mainly so I can have a longer support lifespan and for if I ever want to get another game in the future, I won't have to worry about it not supporting Windows 7.
My concern though is will my PC be able to handle Windows 10, primarily my CPU?
I mean, I know it can be run, but will it drop my FPS, or affect my game play negatively since it's an older PC? Will it slow my PC down?
Later down the road in a few years I'll get a true, new gaming PC(hopefully build one ), but for now I'd like to stay with this one.
What are your experiences with running Windows 10 on an older PC? (assuming you have)
Thanks in advance.
UPDATE:
I have updated my system specs under my profile
