Hi.
This isn't what experience tells me, 2 gb will do ok with Windows 10 and
JAWS. I have a tablet with only 2 gb of ram and it runs well enough for
the tasks outlined. The more you have the better you are no doubt, but I
don't think I can agree that you have to have 4 gb to run Windows 10 as
I've spent far too much time on 2 gb ram with decent responsiveness my
own self. Now that isn't to say upgrading wouldn't help, as it would,
but it would run well enough to do what this individual states will be
done with it, and if they needed to use jaws, it would function
efficiently enough even for that. It is the processor that gives you
speed up to a certain point before the ram makes a whole lot of
difference, and a dual core 2.1ghz processor with 64 bit is no slouch.

those are the minimum requirements. if you are planning to run JAWS
and other programs, you'd need at least 4 GB if not 8 for a smooth
experience. that applies with the other requirements as well. the more
the better.

Hi Jorge,
I did look up the spec that Microsoft says it takes to run W10
They say it can run on
. Processor: 1 gigahertz (GHz) or faster
. RAM: 1 gigabyte (GB) (32-bit) or 2 GB (64-bit)
. Free hard disk space: 16 GB
. Graphics card: Microsoft DirectX 9 graphics device with WDDM driver

Ed,
So, it's a 2 gig laptop,
That might be to small.
The reason, I know is this laptop that I'm working on was also a 2 gig
laptop, I had it increase to 4 gigs to run window 7 and jaws and what
ever?

Hi Everyone,
I have and old laptop that use to be my work pc. It has XP Pro on it
for an
operating system. Also It has two batteries and they are just like
new. It
was never use more than maybe 75 to 100 hours is a guess. I was
wondering
what your opinion would be if it would be good enough for my wife to
use.
All she does is email, Facebook and does some searching on the web. I
want
to put Windows 10 on it and Jaws so I can do maintenance on it. My wife
does not need Jaws. So she would be using it with just Windows 10 so
I am
wondering if it would be good enough for that. I know the ram is pretty
low. Here are the spec on the laptop.
Dell Vostro 1720
IntelR Core 2 Duo CPU
T570 @ 2.10GHz
2.09 GHz, 1.96 GB of RAM
Any suggestions and opinions would be appreciated.
Ed
