With only a spinning hard drive and only 4G of RAM, it will be slow. 4G is bare minimum for Windows 10, and it'll use virtual memory heavily - further dragging performance down due to the slow storage medium.
If you want to run Windows 10 well, you need 8 G and better yet, a solid state drive. The only reason systems are still available with 4G/spinning drives is for a low up-front price. You may get by with word processing, browsing, etc. but little else.
The answer is no - beyond the fact that Windows 7 went end of life in January 2020 (no security updates any longer), the last generation of Intel CPUs to support 7 was the sixth, which was current in 2015-2016. The current generation is Windows 10 only.
Your system is fully capable of Windows 10, but you'll have to recognize that its low price comes at a cost in terms of performance. You will have to be patient in using it.
Same Laptop, same problem. 4GB RAM is only 50% full. But still the laptop very slow. I think the slow performance is due to speed of only 1GHz processor. What i found interesting in this device is that Processor is 1GHz and Ram is 1600MHz. Still the laptop is slow, that means the processor is slow.
I think all you had to do was upgrade the RAM to at least 8 GB, install a M.2 NVMe SSD drive and move your Windows 10 install over to it. Windows 10 would have been more responsive and loading times would have been drastically reduced. Both upgrades could have been done for under $100, depending on brand and capacity.
And as mentioned before, 4 GB is the minimum for 64 bit versions of Windows 10. Just launching your web browser is enough to push memory usage over 4 GB.
I have the same configuration except the processor is core i3 and also facing the same problem. I am thinking to upgrade it to12GB. Do you think it will work fine?
yes. it is working. I am who posted this thread and I also upgraded my ram to 12gb. now working fine:) Also I suggest to upgrade for a ssd for better perfomance.

The minimum requirement to install Windows on any laptop is 4 GB RAM.
But, if you want smooth functioning of the Laptop, then you'll have to increase the RAM of your Laptop.
Windows doesn't function smoothly on a Laptop with 4 GB RAM.
It is a common complaint.

Hi Dell support team,
I bought a new Inspiron 3593 yesterday, but its slow. i5 1035g, 4 Gb ram, 1 TB hard disk.
RAM is always 75% utilized , hard disk also 20 % CPU 10% utilized at idle status.
Running Mozilla browser is slow. I have changed the windows 10 properties to be best performance.
But its not helping me. I am using windows 10 pro.

Then I think using windows XP or windows 7 will be helpful for me, as I bought new Laptop.
will windows 7 supports I5 1035G1 processor?
I dont want to do any operation to change SSD or RAM now, May be later.
Windows 10 is consuming lot of resource.

I moved to Linux mint OS. It's much efficient.
Windows 10 is resource consuming.
Thing is I just bought the inspiron 3593 laptop -2 days back and I don't want to do spend more money on buying Rams and SSD drives. Thanks for reply.

If the system has a spinning hard drive, that's the bottleneck - not the CPU.

Yes. I am who posted this problem and I also upgraded my ram to 12GB ang now working fine.
As I find, 4gb is not enough for a laptop. We need at least 8gb ram.
