With the upgrade to windows, the reason why OEM laptops have issues (Dell, Toshiba, IBM, etc) is because they have special software that run on the old OS.

When upgrading those apps still stay, and aren't as good (Cause crashes, and other errors). So what your best bet is, is to create your recovery DVDs, then to download the Win 10 ISO from MS, burn it to DVD/USB, upgrade via the Windows you have, then once it's upgraded and validated, then format it outright.

Then it'll be a clean install, without those OEM apps. You may find updated versions of the apps that are from the laptop on your laptops support page.

But yea, it's fine to stay on the old windows, but me myself, I've been converted, even though I still haven't upgraded my laptop to Windows 10 (Toshiba ) my gaming PC, is straight win 10.

When I upgraded my main box, nVidia Experience software broke, real bad, and caused real trouble, but a full clean install of windows, downloads the drivers automatically (Through Windows) but missed installing Geforce Experience, so you can install that separately.

If you are tech minded it's a bit easier, but for end users, it's a massive muck around.

You may be wise to wait until some of the OEM software is updated, and try find out what date the free upgrades finish, as it could be a complete leap of faith at that time, to simply see how it's going.

Windows 10, is the way of the future.
