[QUOTE="roger_m, post: 762172, member: 31436"] That may be so, but it has been my experience on multiple computers I own, that of the CPU is very slow, then Windows 10 will be sluggish and run quite a bit slower than the original OS, which leads to a poor user experience. However, on the same computers, Windows 8.1 will run quite fast. I've had the same results with multiple builds of Windows 10. I've upgraded plenty of Windows 7 computers, which had only a Core 2 Duo or similar processor, to Windows 10 and they ran really well after upgrading. Even though I was upgrading the existing install of Windows 7, which had seen years of use, rather than doing a clean install of Windows 10. I'm even running Windows 10 on some 12 year old laptops and it is quite fast. So, certainly you don't need a particularly powerful CPU to run Windows 10, but, on some CPUs, Windows 8.1 runs significantly faster. Have a read of my comments above. On some systems, Windows 8.1 does run a lot faster than Windows 10. [/QUOTE]
