i hate tell this, first thing should when else's computer clean install. that's way can know 100% there no errors or problems. that's extremely important if you're thinking of upgrading windows 10.

if you're thinking of installing windows 10 on computer didn't come windows 10, , particularly laptop since use proprietary hardware, need check whether hardware being supported on windows 10. if hardware manufacturer has decided not support laptop's hardware, it's matter of time before trouble comes.

here's in shoes:

1- find out whether laptop's hardware supported windows 10. if it's not, you're taking chance. unsupported hardware works fine. while, @ least. other times causes problems.

2a- if hardware supported - or @ least not incompatible  - windows 10, clean install of windows 10.

2b - if it's not supported, need ask question dirty harry: "do feel lucky?" otherwise, factory restore, return computer way when left factory.
