Sony might not be making PCs anymore (http://www.engadget.com/2014/07/01/vaio-returns/), but it's still on the hook for supporting its older systems -- and that's creating a big problem for Windows 10 (http://www.engadget.com/2015/07/28/windows-10-review/) upgrades. The electronics giant is warning owners (http://esupport.sony.com/LA/p/os10upgrade.pl?template_id=1) against installing Microsoft's latest software on older VAIO PCs until it has the drivers needed to get all the hardware working properly. And unfortunately, that's going to take a while. If your computer first ran Windows 8.1, the Windows 10 drivers won't be ready until October; if it's old enough to have shipped with Windows 8, you'll have to wait until November.
