Yes, Windows 10 runs great on old hardware.

Is Windows 7 or 10 better for old computers?

If you are talking about a PC that is more than 10 years old, more or less from the Windows XP era, then staying with Windows 7 is your best bet. However, if your PC or laptop is new enough to meet Windows 10’s system requirements, then the best bet is Windows 10.

Does Windows 10 slow down older computers?

Windows 10 includes many visual effects, such as animations and shadow effects. These look great, but they can also use additional system resources and can slow down your PC. This is especially true if you have a PC with a smaller amount of memory (RAM).
