It's actually an I3.

Is a Core i3 processor good?
Desktop users don't need to worry about battery life, so a more powerful Core i5 processor is a good choice. ... Hyper-Threading has been available on some Core i5 processors as of the second generation (Core i5-2XXX CPUs and later) and on Core i3 processors as of the fourth generation (i3-4xxx and later).Jul 4, 2015
Question is, "How much RAM do you have?"

Win10 absolute bare bones minimum would be 6GB but 8GB is more realistic. I'd want 16GB as a minimum.

BTW, if you don't like the look of the Win10 desktop, you can buy this $5 product.
