1. Force Windows 10 upgrade.
2. Windows 10 sucks on this computer!
3. Buy Windows 10 compatible computer.
- mark-r 11y agoMicrosoft's not stupid, they realize that people are keeping their computers longer than ever. They're also trying hard to make Windows 10 run on the widest range of machines possible. So I think it's a priority of theirs to make sure it doesn't suck. They don't want a repeat of Windows XP where nobody upgraded!

Anecdotally: I upgraded a somewhat older laptop to Windows 10 and found that the screen brightness was locked to full. Called up support and was told that no, there's no fix and no, there won't be one for the foreseeable future - mine isn't a "supported system", so it has to stay on Windows 7. Looked up the issue online and found many others with the same problem going back to release day.
