Titel:

crashed unfixable hardrive, can it be replaced/upgraded to win 10?

Tekst:

I have a Dell dimension E510 windows xp.  It broke years back.  The hard drive crashed and according to the computer is non existent.  I would like to be able to have a a family member use the computer again.  I know I need to replace the hard drive, but can it be replaced with windows 10, since xp is no longer secure online?  Would I replace it with the exact same hard drive, then upgrade after?  I am not a tech person so I am not sure what I need to do, or if it is even possible to upgrade this computer .  Any help would be appreciated.  ps.  I understand that windows is not pre installed on the hard drive, but I’m not sure if I can upgrade to windows 10 from an xp after installing a new hard drive.  I also heard that upgrading might make it run too slow, so would it be worth it to put in a new hard drive, and upgrade to windows 10?  Like I said, I am not a tech person, so any help would be appreciated.
