Windows 10: Why does new edge have poor text rendering?

So I decided to try new Edge and found its text rendering to be much worse than old Edge.

See image below and you will see old edge is perfect even when zooming in 400%, new edge is blocky.

More Blurry text problems, but only text rendering in MS browsers


Further update on this;

• The blurry text rendering in Edge/IE11 is only a problem when browsing on my Laptop which is v1511(Build 10586.11)
• Using my Desktop, the rendering is fine - the Desktop is still v10.0(Build 10240)

So this could therefore be down to a number of things

1. There is a difference between builds 10240 and 10586.11
2. There is a difference between the display drivers on the 2 machines
3. There is some other HTML rendering issue on the laptop

The Desktop Graphics are Intel(R) HD 26/11/2012 Version 8.15.10.2900: The Laptop Graphics are exactly the same, so that presumably cancels out option 2
