I bought a Lenovo x220 i5-2520M (sandybridge) 8Gb, 250Gb HDD from ebay for £120 about 2 months ago.

There are lots of posts on Lenovo forums about issues with upgrading, mainly due to HD 3000 graphics not being supported on Windows 10.

I tried the free upgrade to see how it was but intended to go back if there were problems, not had any issues really.

I had the graphics drivers crash once but after a reboot it was fixed.

For this system I cannot see any major issues with the upgrade.
I'll change to an SSD for boot drive eventually but it seems to be usable much sooner than Windows 7 when starting from cold, even on a mechanical drive.
