Hi oscargran,

I am no expert on X-plane.

I am of the opinion your system may struggle.  Have a look at the recommended specifications at http://www.x-plane.com/2016/11/x-plane-11-system-requirements-announced/ 

Before your decide on any upgrade, download the demo version which can be found at http://www.x-plane.com/desktop/try-it/ and try it.  The demo version has limitations and will only run for about 10 minutes from a fixed airport in the USA.

Hope this helps

Glenn
