If you read those Microsoft's system requirements for 10, you will find that if you only go on them you will be sadly disappointed in performance.
For reasonable performance should have at least:
2 gigahertz (GHz) or faster processor.
4 gigabyte (GB) of RAM for 32-bit or 8 GB for 64-bit
500GB hard drive
DirectX 9 or later with WDDM 1.0 driver

If you are upgrading to 10 at least make a system image backup for two reasons.
1. Some people report they don't get the free upgrade and want to reinstall 7, 8, or 8.1 depending what you attempted to upgrade from..
2. If you don't do the system checks and 10 is incompatible with your device and it becomes inoperable.
These are quite good programs to use for Complete PC Backup and are free:
