I am not even sure you can upgrade directly from Vista to Win 10 for
free, or at all, I did see with a quick google that you can download
a Win 10 ISO file, burn to DVD and do a fresh install, but you would
lose everything.

My wife has some "sewing" software that may not be compatible. (her
Vista machine) Everything else would work if I'm correct. I could
check if it runs in "some" compatibility mode before I make the jump.

Or leave it alone for now. All she does is turn the machine on and
expects everything to work

Sounds like my wife . "Honey , the flubbernixer won't work , fix it."
She's using an older Tosh laptop , and it has overheating issues ...
probably because she sits it in her lap blocking the fan intake .
All XP , all the time .

Maybe you have to open it up, blow all the dust out, reapply HS paste
for the cpu. Old Toshiba is built very well.
