Windows 7 64-bit with 8GB, Windows 10 should be relatively smooth,
though some drivers might break. If you're running FrameMaker 2015
with all updates maybe it would work without tweaking. I'd make a full
backup before trying.

FM 2015 update 1 was the first version to officially support Windows
10, and I've read of numerous problems with older versions.
