Leaving well enough alone is what I'd do. And I don't think the kernel is your problem. (I also don't think 16.10 will magically cure things.)
As it happens, I did just upgrade to Ubuntu 16.04 LTS here. I upgraded the Windows side to Win10 and ran into problems that had me cursing a blue streak. I booted into Ubuntu to Look Stuff Up, and while I was at it, did the 15.10->16.04 LTS upgrade. It proceeded with
no issues and works fine.
On the Win10 side, the fixes were simple once I knew them.
The machine would not shutdown or restart, and required a power cycle. Turning
off "hybrid shutdown" (intended for laptops in any case) fixed it.
The machine was also guaranteed to hang at some point no matter what I was doing (and even hung when I wasn't doing anything.) That turned out to be SSD related, and I had to turn
off Windows write cache buffer flushing on that drive.
Once I made those fixes, Win10 worked perfectly. I'm up under it now. Took about 30 seconds to make the fixes, once I knew what they were.
