Depending on what you plan to run on it, 4GB is on the low side. If it's just browsing and email then you'd probably be okay. If Windows 7 works well enough I'd leave well alone - don't try fixing what ain't broke.
Actually... iirc Win 8 and Win 10 both use less resources than win 7.
That was my thought as well, I seemed to remember that w8/10 was less resource hungry.
It's main use is running something called Freestyler, it's a DMX lighting control software. http://freestylerdmx.be/ couldn't find any official min specs but people seem to be running in on anything down to a 600mhz single core.

Stick with it, you could introduce other issues with an upgrade. As long as your software works then all good!It's main use is running something called Freestyler, it's a DMX lighting control software. http://freestylerdmx.be/ couldn't find any official min specs but people seem to be running in on anything down to a 600mhz single core.

You shouldn't have any problems running Freestyler on that spec laptop with any recent version of Windows. What DMX interface do you use with it? I've used the usbdmax.com with reasonable success.

And ^this^ is one reason why ransomware is so successful. https://www.theverge.com/2017/5/19/15665488/wannac...
Seriously, if you have any choice in the matter upgrade to Windows 10.
