    Is it worth upgrading my Vista laptop to a windows 10 or better off buying a new laptop?

    Several points:

    1. Upgrading from Vista to 10 is not possible. The way to get to Windows 10 is by doing a clean installation.

    2. Your old laptop may not be compatible with Windows 10.

    3. If it is compatible, you may need Windows 10 drivers for it, and they might not be available.

    4. If none of the above is a problem, you may find that such an old machine's performance with Windows 10 may be very poor.

    5. You may find that the cost of a new laptop with Windows 10 may not be much higher than the cost of buying just Windows 10.

    I don't know anything about your needs or your finances, but if it were me, I'd probably buy a new laptop.
