She's UK-based. Thanks for advice.
What's the difference between your first and second bullet? Why would she "hope" to convert to Windows 10? Are you thinking if you bought a laptop now there would be something preventing you from upgrading to Windows 10?

BTW mu suggestion is to buy now and upgrade to 10 when it comes out.
