HOWEVER, I *might* re-consider putting 10 on it *IF* I can get a video driver in 10 for my S3 Virge that doesn't crash, stutter, or have other major problems. But the laptop works JUST FINE for doing development work, which is what I use it for. And it's a laptop, so you can't just "change it out". There's no S3 Virge driver for 7 and probably NEVER! WILL! BE!. I upgraded an XP laptop to 7 and lost video performance because NOW - if microsoft were to bite the bullet and just ADMIT that people want to keep their own hardware, then SUPPORT! IT! ALL! WITH! WINDOWS! 10! then people *might* be more willing to upgrade. Compare the "the METRO" "app Store" Solitair game (less so with the 'trial' version in 10074) to the performance of THE! SIMILARLY! NAMED! APPLICATION! ON! WINDOWS! 3.x !!! Yeah, "the METRO" app PIGGY by comparison, on 100x fasterģ) We're artificially being driven into a 'replace the old with new, regardless' model - ok that's the 'nefarious' and perhaps 'outright collusional' explanation of 1, but it deserves its own point. As such, it requires excessive computing horsepower toĭo otherwise trivial things. I can think of a number of reasons, some legit, some nefarious, some outright collusional.Ģ) the internals of Windows, and particularly the "the METRO" schhtuff, can't run efficiently even on a MODERN (hardware, not that idiotic "the METRO" interface allegedly called 'modern') computer.
I would be VERY happy if it didn't have those minimum hardware requirements (particularly 7, but 10 as well).īut I *think* they have those minimum hardware requirements for a few reasons:ġ) Microsoft doesn't WANT to support "legacy hardware" and OS upgrades. It is much faster and better than my NetBook but If that was not a requirement I would be able to install Windows 10 on my old Pentium 4 PC. I think that "executeĭisable bit" should not be a requirement for Windows 10. I have tried to install an update to my PCs BIOS but, there still no option for "execute disable bit". My PCs BIOS does not have the right option for "execute disable bit".
A Microsoft account and Internet access.Īs you can see my PC meets the minimum requirements of Windows 10.Graphics card: Microsoft DirectX 9 graphics device with WDDM driver.My PC meets the minimum requirements of Windows 10 (Which are): NVIDIA GeForce 6200 LE with 512 MB of VRAM.If Windowsġ0 is supposed to replace Windows 7, Windows 10 should support Pentium 4 and other Legacy PCs. If you upgrade the graphics card and put in a decent sound card, you can get windows 7 to run very well on these old legacy PCs. Windows 7 runs very well on most Pentium 4 PCs. What I heard is, Microsoft Windows 10 is supposed to replace Windows 7.
