Core2Duo corresponds to the Intel Penryn Family - If you have your cluster on Conroe you’d have to create a new cluster with the Intel Penryn Family CPU Type, add a host to that new cluster and then change the VM you would like to upgrade to that new cluster.

Otherwise that shouldn’t be a big problem, except that you might want to also change already the OS type in the VM Configuration to Windows 10 (With the correct architecture)

HTH,
