Look, brass tacks: it is a laptop from late 2009 that just doesn't have the chops to run satisfactorily at this point. Primarily because my expectations for what "runs well" means has changed, but also because it is just aging hardware. Much of the hardware stopped receiving driver updates years ago, even from the reference provider or manufacturers.
I'd rather purchase a new machine for Windows 10. The preview builds that they have released thus far for 10 (yes, I know that pre-release code may be missing a lot of optimization, so don't tell me) run like absolute butt on it, but it is the only Windows machine that I have at this point, so I keep it around for testing purposes.
