First of all, XP to Windows 10 direct Upgrade, probably it never happens. Wipe XP and clean install Windows 10 if the system meets with Windows 10 requirements.

## [System requirements for installing Windows 10](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/windows-10-specifications#primaryR2)

These are the basic requirements for installing Windows 10 on a PC. If your device does not meet these requirements, you may not have the great experience intended with Windows 10 and might want to consider purchasing [a new PC](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/devices).

**Processor:** **1 gigahertz (GHz)** or faster [compatible processor](http://aka.ms/CPUlist) or System on a Chip **(SoC)**  
**RAM:** 1 gigabyte (GB) for 32-bit or 2 GB for 64-bit  
**Hard drive size:** 32GB or larger hard disk

Note: See below under “More information on hard drive space to install or update Windows 10” for more details.

**Graphics card:** Compatible with DirectX 9 or later with WDDM 1.0 driver  
**Display:** 800x600  
**Internet Connection:** Internet connectivity is necessary to perform updates and to download and take advantage of some features. Windows 10 Pro in S mode, Windows 10 Pro Education in S mode, Windows 10 Education in S mode, and Windows 10 Enterprise in S mode require an internet connection during the initial device setup (Out of Box Experience or OOBE), as well as either a Microsoft account (MSA) or Azure Activity Directory (AAD) account. Switching a device out of Windows 10 in S mode also requires internet connectivity.

## [Microsoft Compatibility testers are available for Windows 7, 8.1 & 10.](https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_other-windows_install/windows-7-81-10-compatibility-testing-for-windows/310e06a4-b181-45ec-ae6d-ee93a1632932)

The Windows 10 compatibility tester cannot run on Windows XP or Vista but a substitute is available.
