Solved! Can an IBM Thinkpad (Lenovo X60s) Upgrade to Windows 8.1?

[asem1123]

I have an IBM Thinkpad that comes in with the Intel Core 2 Duo 1.66GHz and a 100GB Hitachi HDD. And because it's running very slow in Win7, I was wondering if I could upgrade to Windows 8.1, but using the 32-bit edition, and I'm not upgrading it to Windows 10 because it only has 2GB RAM. So, is this old laptop capable of running a modern OS?

You should be able to upgrade from win7 to win 8.1, but it will not run any better because of this.

You need to add more RAM for better performance. If it's 32-bit Windows, double it up to 4GB, that'll give you around 3.2GB usable. Not a giant leap but still better than 2GB.

Ram needs to be upgrade. Its the only answer.
