I actually laughed out loud at the reply that you believe wrongly.   Some people just live in their own bubble. 

 

My daughter has a similar Sony Vaio.  One day she emailed me and told me that MS was trying to update her Windows 7 computer to Windows 10, and should she let it do it.   It took me maybe 5 minutes to find the answer, which was a big NO.  So I found and gave her the tools she needed to make sure MS never tried to do it again, and I am sure she will happily continue to use her 'puter 'til she no longer wants to. 

That's exactly what happened to me. It kept trying to do the update until finally, it happened. Bad mistake letting it update.

Well not sure if I am being criticized or agreed with by higgy8. I never added that Sony had stated they weren't going to supply the drivers for the Win7 machines to be upgraded. Personally I certainly wasn't going to brick a computer that was relatively new and little used when Sony themselves told me it wouldn't work due to Hybrid AMD +Intel Graphics.  Yes a struggle to hold off Intel's desire to force me to upgrade.

I recall a friend clicking the little 'X' to kill the window trying to force his upgrade and Intel had programmed this to mean 'Yes, go ahead'! The affrontery! Fortunately it worked.

Just to clarify, Jacko, I was agreeing with you and criticizing the person who said you think wrongly. 

 

With this particular Sony, it is not actually a software problem but a hardware problem with the "mechanical" switch that changes which graphics hardware to use, the Intel or the AMD.

 

The fact is that not all computers are comparable with Windows 10 and should not be upgraded, and again as you rightly pointed out, for the OP the best way to get that information is from Asus, not MS.

This is really complete nonsense. I mean complete nonsense.

How is this nonsense? I am currently running 4 machines all I7's and they just don't perform well without more than 4GB RAM. I don't do just spreadsheets and word and surf the net, I run a lot of graphic intensive programs as well. I closely monitor my CPU and GPU RAM usage and I can clearly see that the CPU RAM is consumed.

 

So if the OP wants to do anything more than surf the web and check his gmail, he should consider not bothering to upgrade at this time.
