an upgrade is problematic, I wish on my primary laptop i had just done a clean 10 install, but too many legacy apps i dont even know where to get installers for. Mine does the 100% disk usage, and forticlient doesnt play well. But its like 6 years old, very beat up i7 with 6gb ram and it still runs pretty well for the abuse i put it through both in physical damage (on my third keyboard) and the volume of applications i run on it, not to mention multiple chrome instances with tons of open tabs
