Windows 10 will be here in less than two months. New functional system will be offered as a free upgrade for those already running Windows 7 and 8.1 on their PCs.
Of course, as we noticed in the comments on our Facebook page, there are also those who still believe that after a year Microsoft will request the money, expressing an opinion without having read the company's announcements.
But if you're one of those who wonder if their existing devices have what it takes to get the most out of the new operating system without problems performance this post will help you find out.
There are two different ways to find an answer to this question and both are very easy to use.
System Requirements for Windows 10
First of all, the easiest way to find out if your computer can run Windows 10 is to compare the official system requirements with your computer hardware.
Below are the Windows 10 specs that your computer needs to minimize to run the new operating system:
| Processor | 1 gigahertz (GHz) or faster processor or SoC |
|---|---|
| RAM | 1 gigabyte (GB) for 32-bit or 2 GB for 64-bit |
| HDD storage | 16 GB for 32-bit OS 20 GB for 64-bit OS |
| Graphics | DirectX 9 or later with WDDM 1.0 driver |
| Screen | 1024 × 600 pixels resolution or higher |
Keep in mind that the above features are the minimum a system should have to run the new operating system. Imagine if the operating system needs 1GB of RAM what can be done if you try to run a "heavy" program like PhotoShop…
But for those who do not know how to "read" the above prerequisites there is a Microsoft tool that will read your computer and tell you if it can accept a Windows 10 installation.
This Monday, Microsoft has begun to distribute the Windows 10 Upgrade Tool to Windows 7 and 8,1 computers.
While this small tool can be really annoying to many users (in a previous release we mentioned how you can remove it), it is still handy when you want to see if your computer is about to upgrade to Windows 10 or not.
After making a reservation for a free upgrade to Windows 10 by sending the email to the company, simply right-click on the system tray icon and click "Check upgrade status." 
The tool will automatically scan your computer and you will see a screen similar to the one shown below
The applications και οι συσκευές ανιχνεύονται αυτόματα από την application and will let you know if there is a problem. If there is no problem, you are ready for Windows 10.
If you want to get rid of the upshot update notification window Window 10 in Windows 7 and Windows 8.1, follow the process we describe in our publication.
To mention for the experts who express opinions on Facebook like this one here, that removing the annoying icon it does not stop updating the system… So much they know so much they say ..
