I upgraded when I put together a new computer from the ground up. New hardware was called for, windows 10 was just out, so I configured a machine for it, had to get new peripherals (got a combo scanner/printer), but it was time for all that anyway. I kept a recently purchased monitor, and my old speakers, but that is about it for carry over hardware.

It works, and since I am retired and don’t write VBA applications for my office at work, I have even weaned myself off of Microsoft Office.
