Windows 10 is cleaner, less hardware intensive, and intuitive with displays. With Windows 8.1 I had to set up my TV/Monitor display.
With Windows 10, I merely had to plug the HDMI cable in, and it recognized my Samsung TV and set up the display on its own.
For me, the aesthetics do it. The lock screen has a changing hi-res photo that's always beautiful, Cortana is sometimes helpful but not intrusive, and updates happen in the background and tell you when they're ready.
If your laptop is new (and by that I mean made in the last 2 years or so), I would install 10, if only to get a fresh install of Windows. The fresh install could repair the problem outright. At the very least it will mostly rule out a Windows issue.

"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
