I was a bit of a Windows 7 stalwart until recently. I upgraded my parents' Vista machine to Windows 7 ... very sluggish. Thought I really needed to get them an SSD at some point. Then I upgraded it to Windows 10 on a whim - incredibly snappy. No need for SSD yet.

Sure, snappier on older hardware is a plus. But we've got a 4 year replacement cycle, and a slight increase in snappiness isn't what I'd call a major upgrade.

You dodged a $40 bullet there.
