Hello,

Well I'm going in 2 hours at a friend house to solve computer problems and she is running Windows Vista Home Premium in the 32 bis version.

I was wondering if I could install her Windows 10. Here are her specs:

Intel Pentium Dual CPU E2220 @ 2.40 GHz, 4.0GB RAM, NVIDIA GeForce GT 120.

Thank you.

EDIT : Would it be better to install her a 32 or 64 bits system?
 
That system would work fine with Windows 10.
If it is running slowly, consider alternatives such as defragemening the harddrive or disabling visual effects. Vista is well known for being hugely inefficient and resource heavy.
Bear in mind that the free Windows 10 upgrade is available only to users of Windows 7 and 8(.1) so you'd have to purchase a new license to install WIndows 10. Let me know if i can help in any other ways.


*EDIT*

Here is the official Microsoft documentation on Windows 10 requirements:
System requirements


1 gigahertz (GHz) or faster processor or SoC
RAM:
1 gigabyte (GB) for 32-bit or 2 GB for 64-bit
Hard disk space:
16 GB for 32-bit OS 20 GB for 64-bit OS
Graphics card:
DirectX 9 or later with WDDM 1.0 driver
Display:
800x600
 
That CPU is 64bit i believe. To check, open the start menu, right-click 'My Computer' or 'My PC' and select properties. It will say if you have a 64bit processor under System Type. If so, install a 64bit operating system.
