Win 8.1 --> Win10: An Opinion FWIW ...

... and it may be worth VERY little.

<< 8.1 is working fine for me since I'm only using this little guy for surfing / trading. Would I really greatly benefit from upgrading? >>

Given what You use the device for, and that you use a Vista system as your primary 'workhorse' PC I would say that you would gain extremely little other than Win10 experience at this time and would be wise to wait several months or till the beginning of the new CY before making the upgrade. You would IMO, likely be best served by waiting at least till after the Windows 10 “Threshold 2” update -- Microsoft’s first non-patch update for Windows 10 -- is released a month or 2 from now. Win10 will be more stable and polished after Threshold 2 is implemented and thoroughly debugged and more trips, tricks and tutorials will be available then.

You might want to use Windows Disk Cleanup on your C: Drive more or less immediately to properly evaluate how much usable space you really have on it before implementing a backup or partitioning strategy.

JMHO and FWIW (and waiting till later this year or early next year to make the free upgrade on My Win7 and Win8,1 desktop DPE).
