    Hi Airhead. Yes your system will support Windows 10 but if you are going to install the 64-bit version of Windows 10 then you should upgrade the memory to at least 8 GB's of RAM. Here are your motherboard's specifications so if you are going to upgrade the memory you should get 4 2 GB sticks of DDR2 PC2-6400 (800 MHz) RAM for better performance.

    I believe I was told it was limited to 4 Gb. I remember when I ordered it 4 Gb was the only upgrade choice. As I'm not a gamer, do you think the video adapter is adequate? Thanks You very much.

    The motherboard specs shown in Evan's Post give MAX amount of RAM for 32bit and 64bit. Hence Evan's suggestion you go for the extra RAM and use 64bit OS. Neil.

    The graphics card is outdated but if you won't be playing games on your system anyway then you can just install the latest video driver and upgrade the memory in your system and you should be good.

    Just make sure to download the latest drivers for your system model and save them to an external hard drive since Windows 10 will require a clean install since you are moving up from Windows Vista.
