Hello Everyone, new member here!
Since I heard the news about "Windows 10", i am curious if why not install Windows 10 to my PC?
I don't know if my processor is compatible with Windows 10.
Because, Windows 10 minimum requirements meets my PC Specifications
Windows 10 Minimum Requirements:
- Processor: 1 gigahertz (GHz) or faster.
- RAM: 1 gigabyte (GB) (32-bit) or 2 GB (64-bit)
- Free hard disk space: 16 GB.
- Graphics card: Microsoft DirectX 9 graphics device with WDDM driver.
- A Microsoft account and Internet access.
My PC Specs:
- Intel® Pentium® Processor E5400 @ 2.7 GHz
- 2GB RAM
- 80GB SSD
- MSI GeForce n210 1GB DDR3 Graphics Card
- 1920x1080 display
Also, my current operating system is Windows 7 Ultimate 32-Bit. I use 32-Bit because i am confused if my processor is a 32 or 64-Bit.
Thanks, and God Bless!

This is your processor:
http://ark.intel.com/products/40478/Intel-Pentium-Processor-E5400-2M-Cache-2_70-GHz-800-MHz-FSB Intel® Pentium® Processor E5400 (2M Cache, 2.70 GHz, 800 MHz FSB) Product Specifications
It is eight years old.
It will support 64-bit Windows.
However, it is not supported on Windows 10:
https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/processors/000006105.html Intel® Processor Support for Microsoft Windows® 10
This does not mean that Windows 10 will not run. It will. But, you will be not be supported.
Regarding the rest of your configuration, 2gb memory is a bit low, even for 32-bit Windows in today's world.
80gb SSD, is fine, but you are constrained by storage. Again, today's world requires more.
Your graphics card and display are fine.
I have converted machines with configurations like yours to W10, 64-bit, and they work fine, That is, until Microsoft decides differently.
You can stay on 32-bit Windows 10 if you want. If you upgrade to W10, that is what you will have to do. If you do a clean install, you can move to 64-bit W10. However, your memory will then be an issue.
