I just did so on December 14 with no problems. While my CPU is 9 years old, it was top line back then, and still runs the latest games at acceptable frame rates, I have 16 GB of new ram, a new 2-Tbyte hard drive (replacing an old 1-Tbyte drive that had been imaged and backed up before it died) and a new video card, so look at your hardware requirements.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes, it should give you the upgrade option, with Custom install, or something like Full install. Some of your programs may not work though, or may have to be reinstalled after Windows 10 is installed. I think it's better to do a clean install and especially now, when Windows 7 updates is coming to an end on Jan 14, 2020. Any programs you have on Win 7 that are compatible with Windows 10, you can install after. Hope this helps...
