Early 2011 MacBook Pro windows 10

Obviously windows 10 isn't supported on an early 2011 MacBook Pro, but can it still be installed onto it?

MacBook Pro (15-inch Early 2011), OS X Yosemite (10.10.4)

I adjusted the fan settings (starting at 35 degrees and maximum temp of 60) and played Sim City 4 for a while now. I would say that the macbook does not get as warm as with playing the same game in Mac OS under Steam. So it's already a progress. With fans starting at core temperatures of 35 and maximum of 60 degrees the fans keep the system under 50 degrees. However, battery life is much shorter now which also indicates that it is running under heavy load. I just dont understand how the game from 2003, played on a massive laptop of 2011 does get it so highly used. Also, with the highest display settings, the game does not scroll as fast as under Steam. I will try 85% next time but I think that wont change much, except it might reduce performance further. I might take the time to upgrade the AMD Radeon 6750M drivers but it's a complicated process with having to alter files and sign them with kernel certificates and I am not sure it will influence CPU temperatures at all.
