So it is a major annoyance and almost unworkable. Of course Windows 10 will boot up, but using Windows 10 on this kind of hardware is frustrating, with a lengthy start-up time, slow start-up and operation of applications and crashes when running multiple applications.

I have tried to install and run Windows 10 on some old test machines and also on my parents’ former Windows 7 computer (with equivalent specifications as above) and the only conclusion for me was that it is just not workable. In theory these requirements seem not that bad, but in my opinion, from a Windows 10 point of view, it is not a realistic option.

In this article I will explain why you should switch from Windows 7 to Linux instead of immediately buying a new computer with Windows 10 pre-installed, and how to make the switch from Windows 7 to Linux. But fortunately for these people there are really great alternatives available, such as switching to one of the very user-friendly Linux distributions that are free to download and a perfect match for your older hardware. But that is not what every user wants and that is not what automatically is the best option for all those older but still working computers out there.
Microsoft logically advises everyone to switch to Windows 10 before January 2020, as they want everyone on the same platform. After this date no more technical support will be offered and no software updates will be issued that are needed to ensure the protection of your Windows computer. Microsoft has recently communicated very concretely that the support of Windows 7 will expire on January 14th 2020, which is only a couple of days from now. Microsoft has indicated to its users that they are providing a maximum of 10 years of product support for Windows 7, counted from the moment that Windows 7 was released on October 22, 2009. Windows 7 is a hugely popular Windows version and, despite the current availability of the more modern Windows 10, it is still used by many individuals and organizations.
