Dell's Dimension E521 doesn't have many bells and whistles, but a powerful dual-core AMD processor lends it unexpected performance and strong bang for the buck. I recently re installed windows xp on my dell. I tried to connect to my router using my Ethernet Cable and it did not work. I checked my Computer.
You should be fine. The minimum requirements are: • Processor: 1 gigahertz (GHz) or faster • RAM: 1 gigabyte (GB) (32-bit) or 2 GB (64-bit) • Free hard disk space: 16 GB • Graphics card: Microsoft DirectX 9 graphics device with WDDM driver • A Microsoft account and Internet access There are some additional requirements. The CPU must also support the NX (Intel calls it the Execute Disable Bit). The 4300 seems to do that: Things get more complicated if you want X64: Are you using the onboard Intel 965 graphics? I'm not sure how well Win 10 supports that. (A quick web search indicates that there are working drivers for it.) You could add an inexpensive PCI-E graphics card with better Windows 10 support, but I'm not sure how much money you'd be prepared to spend on an old PC like this.
I generally don't suggest upgrading from 7, mainly because I don't think that 10 is a significant advance for home users, but I have upgraded an old (2008) Compaq laptop. (It came with Vista from the factory.) It runs about as well as 7 did. If you want to upgrade, I strongly recommend imaging your current Windows installation before proceeding. I use Acronis True Image (not free), but a lot of people seem to like the free version of Macrium Reflect for that.
With an image, you can save yourself a lot of grief if the upgrade doesn't go well; you could restore the old OS in less than a half hour.
