You could try upgrading to an SSD and adding more RAM on your HP Pavilion g7. Since Windows 7 is no longer supported, the upgrade process might be challenging, but it could still work if you're willing to put in the effort. Your current DDR3l-1600 RAM setup is fine for now, so improving it would make the system more functional for your family members. It’s not a complete replacement, but it could extend its usability.

Does it hurt? My Windows 8.1 laptop works fine with version 10, and the 5400 RPM HDD seems to be okay. RAM isn't a problem, but installing and running might be tricky.

You only require 4GB of RAM or higher and a storage device with a range of 120GB or greater, and you’ll enjoy a smooth performance.

The laptop should function well with a solid CPU, 4GB RAM, and an SSD running Windows 10. But be aware of two potential problems: 1. Intel processor paired with AMD graphics cards. This setup typically works in Windows 7, but on Windows 10 you may encounter a blank screen at startup that takes a long time to display the desktop. To fix this, disable ULPS via regedit and adjust the EnableULPS registry value to 0 if it's set to 1. 2. HP DriveGuard or MobileProtection software. Even with a Windows 10 driver available, stick to the Windows 7 version; otherwise you risk a blue screen due to storage issues.
