I'm not sure what advantages Windows 10 has brought to the laptop, but things are continuing to work;

I'm not trying to be the troll under the bridge so don't anybody take any of this the wrong way. I use portions of Iain's post here just as an example and have been reading through the other posts here on the subject of upgrading to Win 10. I keep seeing things like "it went smooth," "no problems," continues to work as beautifully as it did before" and so on, but I don't see anything like "wow, it sounds way better now!" So the million dollar question is: If it's working as well (but not necessarily better in terms of any kind of audible improvement), why bother upgrading? I can see at some point Win 7 no longer being supported but I'd guess before that happens there's going to be something beyond even Win 10. The only reason I could see to upgrade from Win 7 would be if a person were using Win 7 home addition as an example which only allows the use of up to 16GB of memory, and if by going to Win 10 your computer can now use more than 16 GB, then it's worth upgrading. If that's not the case, there's no real improvement other than it keeps working as good as it did before, then why bother? I sometimes feel some people just can't resist messing with things because they can.
I guess I'm of the school of 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it!'

Marc,
I updated my Windows 8.1 to 10 earlier in the week. The improvement in audio performance is astounding. I'm running an Asus 32 gb machine that was on it's way to early retirement. The audio was horrible. Windows 10 seems to have corrected the problems. I cannot speak directly to your situation, but can assure you that the upgrade was most beneficial in my case.
