While I agree with the rest of the article, this bit isn't true > Your Windows 7 is likely running on an older machine that might struggle with a resource hungry operating system like Windows 10. > To run Windows 10, you need a 1 GHz processor, 1 GB for 32-bit or 2 GB for 64-bit RAM, 16 GB for 32-bit OS or 20 GB for 64-bit OS, and a 800 x 600 resolution display. And that’s just a bare minimum. Windows 7 has the exact same minimum specs. And in my experience, Windows 10 runs better on a system meeting the minimum specs than Windows 7. Of course neither of them comes close to something like Lubuntu or Puppy Linux, but that's a different tanget. They also recommend Ubuntu as a first distro (which I agree is a good choice for newbies), but I moved away from Ubuntu to other distros during 16.04 because of how bloated it was. The Unity UI was sooooo slow on low end hardware.
