Microsoft’s support for Windows 7 is officially over, so if you’re still running a PC on it, you’re doing it at your own risk. You can upgrade to Windows 10 and, if you’re currently running a licensed and activated copy of Windows 7, Windows 8 or Windows 8.1 Home or Pro, here’s how to do it for free.

It was a low-end laptop to begin with and, although it met Win 10’s system requirements, it just wasn’t a great experience. I ended up turning that into a Chromebook for my kids and moving on to a laptop built for what Windows 10 offers.
