If your pc specs meet all the criteria in the reserve icon then no. It is supposed to be quicker than 7 and 8. My best advice is to either back up all files and then upgrade when it is available or
To wait until it comes out and then wait about a month until people have actually used the final version.

if the windows 10 info is correct,then no,it wont slow it down at all.from all the people ive talked to that have run it,even on older machines,its quick and they have noticed no slow downs.if your running win7 already you will have no troubles with win10.

Windows 10 is heavily optimised to give maximum performance so I expect not. Back up all of your files and install Windows 10 when available, if it does slow your PC down too much then just reinstall windows 7.

For some reason, on an Acer notebook with same CPU (i3-370M) I got the message that Windows 10 cannot be installed because this CPU is not supported. What do you see in the Windows 10 window that appeared on most PCs the last weeks?
