How can I find out if my gateway LX6810-01 approved for a windows 10 upgrade?
I tried for a week to get a Windows 10 install to work properly but it never worked like it was supposed to. Several new capabilities did NOT work like Cortana, Metro screen, search function, edge, help and a couple of others I can't remember now. I suspect that this old faithful great running LX6810 isn't capable. What do you think?

Yes, as long as your Windows 7 key is still present and legible, it can be used to activate Windows 10. The free upgrade program *officially* ended a while back, but still works fine, I use it on clean Windows 10 installs 3-5 times a week. Just make sure you install the Windows 10 version that matches your Windows 7 key (in this case Professional).
First of all Un-installed/format it your system and re-installed windows 7 and see it happen again or not?
May be, while upgrading your windows XP to windows 7 some file may be left over so while running your OS (operating system) file cannot read properly.
If you bought a full retail version and not an upgrade, you may need to do a fresh installation of windows. You also need to make certain that your gateway model is able to upgrade to windows 7. Checking your computer's support page, there are no BIOS updates available. Your computer should be fully capable of upgrading to windows 7 from windows Vista. ALso looking at Gateway's support page for this model, there are no drivers offered for Windows 7. All drivers offered are for windows Vista. I have seen computers in the past that will not tolerate an operating system change from the system that was installed at the factory.
If you have a restore partition, you can back up your data, and do a clean install of windows after formatting your hard drive. You may also want to make recovery disks for your computer in case the Win 7 will take on your computer or you cannot get your hardware to work with Win 7 since Gateway offers no Win 7 drivers.
Good luck. Take precautions to back up data and be able to revert to your original factory settings if necessary.
You can upgrade to windows 7 from Vista is pretty straight forward. All you have to do is put Windows 7 CD in while running Vista and automatic startup should show you options to choose. There's some trouble with it sometimes for example, you can't upgrade a 32-bit version of Windows to a 64-bit version, or upgrade from a higher edition of Windows, such as Windows Vista Ultimate, to a lower edition, such asWindows 7 Home Premium. If this is the case, you'll need to use the Custom option during installation. Please remember that while Upgrading will keep all of your files and programs, custom installation will NOT. So you would need to back everything up before you start. Before you install Windows 7 make sure that all of programs that you need will work on it.
