Is it possible to upgrade my computer running windows 7 Pro to a newer version
I’ve recently received a computer to do mostly office work on but it is currently running windows 7 Pro and a lot of the functions are slow/unusable. The computer is a Lenovo ThinkCentre and it’s ether a 2013 or 2014, with 4 GB ram, and a 500 GB WD HDD. Can this computer run the newer windows versions, and what would I need to do to be able to upgrade it as replacing the computer itself is not an option. The computer is handling mostly online forms/docs and emails.
I know very little about computers.
Thanks in advance for any help!
Edit: thank you to all the helpful replies, it is an at work computer but I do have like free run of what I can do to the computer itself so I’m currently putting all these insights into a form and hopefully my boss will let me make some changes to the ram and swap the HHD for a SSD. But for now it seems that this is the computer I’m stuck with so I’m just getting used to staring at the eternal loading screens.
