Both models are too old to upgrade. Put the money towards a new or newer computer.The 580 is 13 yrs old, while the 518 is 12 yrs old. Neither one can run Windows 10 since there are no windows 10 drivers.

@EpicGamenator
Are you planning on buying one? If so, buy something else.
If you already have these PCs and they have 4 GB of RAM, then I would suggest upgrading to a 120 GB SSD for $20.
