"upgrades" have flushed the environment
I have a bunch of Dell laptops and they are all working great ... but ever since Windows 8 appeared I have found that work is much easier using the older laptops running Windows 7 than "upgrading" to spend more time waiting for Windows to get started and then make me wait while it downloads upgrades that are going to cause problems. I have a few systems running all of the current versions of Windows because we have to support customers but working is so much better with the older versions and so many customers want support for Windows 7, not "Windows This Week".
Biting the hand that feeds IT
