Does a Intel Pentium Dual Core E5700 @ 3.00GHz support Windows 10? If it is, 32bit or 64bit?

Hello there, greetings from Malaysia.

Recently, I'm trying to upgrade my desktop's Operating System from Windows 7 to Windows 10. However, I'm not sure if the processor built-in is compatible with the upgrade of OS, as I'm not a professional in this field.

The processor currently built-in is Pentium(R) Dual-Core E5700.

Please advise me on the doubt I'm facing.

Appreciates for your reply.

Thank you!! 😀

This 2010 processor will run windows 10, but windows 10 is not supported on this processor. You can use either 32 or 64 bit.

Your graphics is the big question.

Augmenting Al's terse reply, the major feature in your system that is not supported with Windows 10 is its processor-based graphics subsystem. If you already have an add-in graphics card, then you have less things to worry about in your Windows 10 upgrade. If not, then you need to consider getting one. If your system is this old but doesn't have a slot for an add-in graphics card, then it is time to be considering a replacement.
