Can I set up Windows 10 (64-bit) on my old laptop?
The software requirements include Zoom, Google Meet, Skype, Teams, Chrome/Microsoft Edge, and Microsoft Office 2019/2016.
Questions:
- What is the highest resolution I can play on YouTube?
- Could the three listed software cause lag?
- What is the maximum overclocking speed for my 1.3 GHz processor?
CPU: AMD E-300 APU with Radeon ™ HD Graphic 1.30 GHz
GPU: AMD Radeon HD 6300 series Graphics
RAM: 4 GB
SSD: 240 GB
Couldn't confirm the details. Likely performance would be around 480p to 720p.
Those APUs are extremely slow. They lag behind an old low-end Core 2 Duo or Athlon 64 x2. They performed poorly right out of the box. I doubt they'd handle tasks like Zoom or Google Meet smoothly. You should expect noticeable delays.

You might find a used laptop on eBay for less than $150, equipped with a second or third generation Core i5 in good condition. This would outperform the AMD options. By searching, you could likely locate a first or second generation i5 model for under $100.
It seems you'll be using this for professional tasks. A faster setup would be a wise choice.
I stated that without Windows 10 drivers for your setup, I wouldn't advise upgrading to Windows 10.

tbh i’m using one right now but windows 10 is running really slow on it. i tried windows 7 and you can’t even access the internet unless you have drivers installed on another pc to install there. the issue is that this laptop isn’t very good in any way. i had an older pc from 2007, and it makes this laptop look like a joke. the problem is that this was supposed to be a laptop you buy once it breaks—just throw it away and never think about it again. i would recommend windows 8.1 instead. it runs fine or if you want the best option, try a linux distribution.
