If that laptop has at least a dual core processor and 3Gb of Ram, Windows 10 will work fine and dandy on it. If you had Win7 on it, you can run Win10 installer in upgrade mode and it will activate with digital license using the Win7 license key.
I have done this Win7 to Win10 conversion with a Acer laptop with single core AMD processor some time ago.. A bit slow booting but once booted up, it works OK, not a speed demon..
