More Windows 10

Upgraded my D945GCL system to Windows 10 Pro tonight.  It has an Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 processor (2.4) and only 3GB DDR2 memory.  No SSD, traditional Seagate 7200 RPM 120GB SATA.  Installation was thru Windows Update and worked without any issues.  AVG Internet Security 2014 was installed before the upgrade started and it stayed 2014 afterwards (figured it would but was hoping since Microsoft re-installs AV products they might have updated for me). I downloaded and installed AVG Internet Security 2015.  No issues.  The graphics driver is same version as in Windows 7 just a few builds newer.  System runs same if not slightly faster than when it was Windows 7 Pro.  Needs more memory, will replace the 1GB stick with a 2GB stick soon and see if there is a slight boost.  Main bottleneck seems to be disk drive related but since it is for my daughter, and she isn't a power user yet it will be fine.

My Acer Aspire 5732 notebook installed Windows 10 last night.  It was smooth, about an hour.  It needs an SSD drive.  It is a Intel Pentium T4300,   It has 4GB of DDR3 memory.  Over all system speed is great for the age of the hardware.  Had no installation issues.  Windows 10 upgrade was thru Windows Update.  No driver issues with touchpad, audio or network.    This system had Microsoft Office 2007 on it and it runs fine as well still.  This system is for one of my sons, so no need for mega speed yet.


Adding an SSD drive in the near future will bring major life into these systems.  Installed Classic Shell 4.2.4 on both systems and changed start buton icon to look like Windows 7.
