The specs are sufficient for Win 10 Pro - However, whether your laptop will handle Win 10 Pro depends on the motherboard features and capability designed in by the manufacturer.
I installed Win 10 Pro 64-bit on a Dell D630 and it runs fine. Check with your laptop manufacturer about Win 10 Pro.
Thanks for the answer
By the way, the main reason that I'm going to upgrade the os of my laptop is that I want to install higher version of Visual Studio like VS Pro 2015 or 2017, What ya think?
Can my laptop multitask smoothly?
I know this is an old post but one of my work setups is amazingly close to yours. I am running Visual Studio 2015 (Update 3) on a Core 2 Duo (HP Pavillion desktop) with 4GB ram (DDR2) and Windows 10 Pro (version 1709).
While both Windows and Visual Studio
do run,
sooner or later it becomes obvious that the setup requires quite some
patience especially when a lot of processes are running simultaneously. The same goes for certain Visual Studio projects:
big projects with lots of files or
heavy projects such as asp.net web api or mvc projects. For example, it is interesting that old-fashioned asp.net webforms projects execute smoothly while an asp.net web api mvc project that I am currently working on does not.
I will upgrade to 8GB of ram next week but I don't expect a big improvement in performace. IMHO, the two main components that slow things down are the CPU and the lack of an SSD, of course.
Bottom line is, it will run but requires quite a bit of patience from your side.
