[QUOTE="4wd, post: 1099773, member: 393358"] Get a little more ram? Won't cost much. Or maybe it's soldered-on ram and no slots, then one is stuck. But I'd not upgrade anyway, get w10 from microsoft download site and do a fresh, clean install. After install it will activate with no problem. Will be useable with 2GB (...and a ssd). Then add classic shell + o&o shutup. But don't expect to use Photoshop + stream video + have 20 tabs open in a browser lol :O) Upgrade or clean install, 1st backup all important files from the 8.1 setup. But? unless some special w10 features (bloatware :O) are highly sought after, and the laptop is behaving ok, why not simply stay on 8.1 (or refresh 8.1), it's a great os, w7 mk2, still got years of update\security, just needs classic shell to get rid of the metro\fisherprice interface fiasco.
