There isn't - if xp is the best your hardware can handle, 10 will run like molasses.

Don't. Use Windows 7 until you're forced out of it, then use Linux. You don't like video games because you still use XP and you can still run any normal apps using Wine.

Your hardware is probably very dated. You should upgrade to 7 or stick with XP.

I've read that you can't upgrade directly from xp to 10, you have to go to 7 then take the update to 10. But how do I get to 7 for free and get a genuine Windows key?

I read that my xp pc will take Windows 7. If it can run 7, it will likely run 10. I upgraded a HP Mini from 7 and 10 and that thing is a piece of crap.

You don't. Do you even understand what you just wrote?

If you want genuine Windows, you need to buy it. No-one is going to give you Windows for free.

Best thing you can do to an XP machine is buy it a new motherboard that comes with Windows 7, and go XP(old motherboard)-->XP(new motherboard)-->7-->10.

You can get a new motherboard, with a decent Core2 Duo and a genuine Windows 7 license, for less than $40.

oh damn, I'm so screwed man. I'm a hardware noob, to do all that before the end of July, might as well stick with this crappy xp. The person I received it from lost the driver disc, it doesn't run as well as it could. I only have the reinstall disc which I hate, reinstalling from the hard drive is so much better.

Actually it's more complicated than that.

You need to go XP, Vista, 7, 10.

You could buy a "FQC-00130" Windows 7 retail upgrade. It's a genuine Windows licence, so long as you have a genuine Windows XP. They go for $70-$100, used on places like Amazon and eBay.

The advantage of retail is that the license is transferable from person-to-person, and from computer-to-computer. You can upgrade it to Windows 10 Retail and transfer that license too.

Just use an ISO of Windows 7, preferably one not off a torrent site, but a startup disk or something. Don't activate it yet, use DAZ Windows Loader, congrats, now you can upgrade to windows 10 and not worry. If you play games on your, PC, though, don't do it.

TBF, the [7, 8, 8.1]-->10 upgrade *is* free.

Not knowing XP isn't eligible == "doesn't know shit"?

No I think I could jump straight to 7, no one liked Vista and I'm sure MS was aware of this fact, surely. If I could purchase a cheap Windows 7 starter, then I could upgrade to 10

7 has downgrade rights to Vista.

Upgrade to Vista, don't bother activating it, immediately upgrade to 7.

If you have XP, and you try to install 7, it'll make you clean install.
