Windows 10 pro upgrade

[Terryl]

Hey Kids, wasn't there a software program that would tell you if a PC was capable of a windows 10 upgrade? I have someone that wants to upgrade to W10 pro, he has some new software that wont run in W7.(I don't know why)

Check Settings > Windows Update
to see if your PC meets the minimum system requirements and to confirm that the upgrade is ready for your PC.

Download the Media Creation Tool from Microsoft for win 10. Win 11 is offered free if cpu and security passes microsofts platform. There is hacks around the failed hardware result.
