the basic requirements (compute power, ram, storage) to install windows hasn't really changed at all since like vista or 7. dual core and 4gb ram were common even back at vista's launch (and earlier, even. many late xp systems shipped with those specs).
due to bloat these older systems (like dual core windsor am2/dual core wolfdale lga775) fall flat with 10; but swap their original mechanical hdd for sata ssd and feed 'em at least 4gb ram and they run 10 as well as 7 or 8.
