Just enjoy the upgrade and do not worry.
The OEMs are deciding when a machine in obsolete, and then NOT testing it for Win 10. This could be only three years or so. MANY computers far older than yours will be successful. I have three very old machines (see my sig below, 8, 9 and 10 years old) that upgraded with NO significant issues. I was even able to install compatible Nvidia video drivers for all three. The OEMs do not want to spend the time to evaluate hundreds of older models. This actually makes sense, where very few of the older computers are still in operation.
I have been recommending that anyone interested should try, as long as the CPU is compatible. The Win 10 installation will not proceed if there is a significant incompatibility. If there are a serious operational problems, the installation can always be reversed in the first 30 days after the installation.
