I recently was upgraded away from those exact "old" specs at work, and I largely disagree. Win10 just doesn't work with HDDs. I'm sure the mandatory 3rd party AV doesn't help either. But logging in was enough of a source of pain, that I ended up using my iPhone with a HDMI dongle and a wireless accessories.

It's upgraded now to an overly powerful web browsing machine. I'm a bit happier.
