The processor isn't supported by Windows 10;

^ in case you don't see it, your Pentium is from the Sandy Bridge era.

You might want to retire your laptop since it's too slow for 2024's usages.

Win 10 will almost certainly run on that system.

However....

1. There is no more free upgrade from Win 8.1 to 10.
2. 32bit to 64bit is a full wipe and reinstall. Not a simple inplace upgrade.

Not officially supported, but Win 10 is/was very lenient about older hardware.

Discussion - What's the oldest and/or cheesiest system you have Win 10 installed on?

Mine is a 2009 era Toshiba Satellite L305-S5955 Celeron 900, 2.2GHz, 2GB RAM, 250GB HDD. The only upgrade from stock was a warranty replacement of the original 160GB HDD to the current 250GB. Currently v1903, Build 18362.295 https://www.cnet.com/products/toshiba-satellite-l305-s5955/specs/...

Supported or not, Windows 10 in 6GB on an HDD is going to be horrible. Plus, Windows 10 is EOL next October so you're swapping a dead OS for one that will be dead soon, and on a platform that is archaic. You'll be disappointed for sure, just buy a modern replacement.

Windows 10 would work.
It works even on Intel Atom cpus, that are way weaker than Pentium B940.

But yes - experience will not be optimal.
1st you really want to upgrade to SSD.
2nd if you install windows 10 and are not satisfied with performance,
then you could install 64bit windows 8.1
