Question Windows 10 and an old system

[hack3rcon]

Hello,
I have an old system with a motherboard model GA-EP45-UD3L. It has 8GB of RAM and a Core 2 Duo E8400 3.00GHz CPU. Can I install Windows 10 on this system?

Thank you.

You should be able to. I had it installed on a system from that era before.

I didn't have any real issues that I can recall.

It will run on that.

I've had it on worse:

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/...

Know that Win 10 falls off support from MS in a couple of months.

Windows 10 will struggle on 2core/2thread system.
2core/4thread cpu is probably minimum for a comfortable use.

Make sure, you have windows installed on SSD.
On a mechanical HDD windows experience will be terrible.
