I've been updating all our Win7 machines at work to 10, at least the ones that have more than a year to go for replacement. A few little issues came up, like I had to get EaseUS to slightly expand the size of the Recovery partition on a few.

Look for the 1903 upgrade, it's still available and Micro$soft hasn't yet turned off the free upgrade. Times for me are running about 60-90 minutes to complete an upgrade, depending on the hard disk speed.

Then you MUST go looking for "decrapifier" It's a bit of code that removes masses of the .app bloatware. It takes all of 30 seconds to clean up a system.

For your specifics, I'd be a bit worried about 8GB RAM. I'm waiting on all our 8GB systems, hoping to find another 8 from machines we are replacing to upgrade to at least 16.

IF you stay with Win7, AND are doing business client files and get hacked, it will cost a lot more than a new laptop/Office.
