Vaio Z11 (2010 version) and Windows 10 upgrade

I have a VPCZ11C5E which is a CTO Z11 (from April 2010) with i5, 330M, 128G SSD, no fingerprint sensor, no TPM, Win7u and 1920 screen (so not that unusual, has the Blu-ray writer too, which might be). The fan's a bit loud and annoying, but I'm still planning on keeping it as my only laptop for the foreseeable future.

Okay, so the free Windows 10 update ends soon and I've spent a chunk of the day browsing this forum, and other sites, some in Japanese, to work out if it's a good idea for me to go for it or not. I really can't get a good answer so thought it's time to ask directly, if that's okay? Sorry if I've missed some obvious answer elsewhere, but I did try (maybe there's a couple too many Vaio-Z versions out there). I've upgraded two computers (one virtual) to Win10 and while both had a couple of issues that needed fixing it all went okay in the end, but this one does seem potentially a bit braver.

I should note I'd be okay if I got stuck with Nvidia graphics only, it wouldn't be a show-stopper, but Intel only would be discouraging. I'd also like pretty much all the devices to work.

P.S. if there's any ideas on whether Z11 fan noise can be reduced I'd be interested too! I plan to pull it apart at some point, but not this close to the Win10 deadline, just in case ;-)

Let's block ads! (Why?)
