That $119 you’d put toward a software upgrade just isn’t worth it - you’ll get much more improvement out of a hardware upgrade. But, even if it was powerful back then, that old PC has been far surpassed by modern hardware. At $119 just for a Windows 10 license, it’s really not worth the upgrade unless you have a big, beefy, powerful PC that for some reason still runs Windows Vista. There’s a good chance you can get a laptop or desktop PC that comes with Windows 10 for just a few hundred bucks. Modern computers are becoming less and less expensive. Those Windows Vista PCs are getting quite long in the tooth and lack modern processors, graphics hardware, and - most importantly - solid-state storage. Windows 7 was launched in July 2009, which means all those Windows Vista PCs out there will be six to eight years old when Windows 10 launches. So you have to consider whether $119 for a Windows 10 license is really worth it.
If Windows 10 was free, it’d be a fine upgrade for your old Windows Vista PCs. It’s Time For a Hardware Upgrade, Not a Software Upgrade Want to use Windows 10 for free on a Windows Vista-era PC?

However, it seems you can continue using preview releases of Windows as a Windows Insider.
