Since the Windows 10 preview is finally out I decided to take it for a test drive... However I really wanted to push myself and try it on a system with the following specs: Dell Insipron 6000/Intel Centrino 1.3Ghz/512MB DDR RAM/60GB HDD/Intel GMA 945/Windows XP Pro/Intel Pro 2200BG This Dell Inspiron 6000 came with XP, but I upgraded it to Windows 7 recently and it did ok with it.
