Hey, guys

I have 2009 lap top that was shipped with Windows Vista and then upgraded to Windows 7 64 bit. I just recently installed new Samsung 500 Gb SSD and Windows 7 on it. The lap top meets minimum requirements for Windows 10. It has Core 2 duo at 2.9 Ghz processor, 4 Gb memory. I installed all possible updates to Windows 7 and the "Get Windows 10 app" icon is not showing up. I been looking for a way to reserve my Windows 10 on the Microsoft web site and found this:

"PCs that we determine cannot run Windows 10 will not see the Get Windows 10 app before July 29, 2015. After July 29, 2015, we’ll enable the icon in the system tray. This is to help ensure that you can easily check your PC’s compatibility if you choose".

Do you think it means- my lap top will not be able to run Win 10? Any other way to reserve Win 10 for it and run the checker? Thank you.

Well they told us Win 8 was faster than 7 and that turned out to be false...so I guess we should be happy w/ 1%.
