More than likely yes. New OS release is a good time for laptop shopping. Anything new with 10 will be able to upgrade, but who wants to buy an outdated laptop. (Except $ smart people)
You might be able to pick up a bargain. Places like Office Depot or Staples will very likely clearance out the older models when the new shiny 11’s come out.
For you I think touching and feeling the laptop is important.
I never asked... what do you have now?
An old Toshiba Satellite.
