Hello datsmar... Yes I've been using Windows 10 since it was first introduced.. My Grandson, who also writes computer programing. Not only told me I should download the free version, but proceeded to do it for me. Other than a few minor differences, I was running Windows 7, and that mainly in the startup menu I can't say I like it more or less than what was running before... But then I'm still running Lightroom 3.6. Of course Window does still support it.. lol..

Have been using it for six months on several PCs without issues. I was a solid, long time Windows 7 user and never migrated to Windows 8.X but felt Windows 10 was the way to go and that it was a stable move forward. I have also not had any issues with any software or hardware compatibility.

Been using Windows 10 since the earliest beta versions. Public releases are quite good. No LR issues with my own desktops. Have also migrated a couple hundred other desktops for my part time job and most of the issues with Windows 10 are not Windows code or application issues but third party drivers, particularly video drivers and peripherals. Most of those have resolved overtime as third party manufacturers have updated drivers.

Best to test the computer you plan to install Windows 10 on with the embedded Windows 10 environment tester. If you launch the Windows 10 installer it will run the tester and report issues that the installer identifies; if the issues are significant enough the installer terminates the installation and gives you a message that identifies the device(s) that is not compatible.

I've found that the installer is very good at analyzing core hardware compatibility.

For Windows 10 installation I usually disconnect peripherals like printers, scanners, Wacom devices and just manually check each manufacturer for Windows 10 drivers. I download all of the Windows 10 drivers for each peripheral and store them on a USB thumb drive.

I install Windows 10 without the peripherals connected. After the install and first update check I connect each peripheral one at a time. If Windows can't find a compatible update I install the update I've pre downloaded from the thumb drive.

There are cases where old peripherals do not have Windows 10 compatible drivers and never will. One can then install those drivers in Windows 7 or Windows 8 compatibility mode. Most of the time the device works in compatibility mode. If it doesn't it is time to consider upgrading the device to one that is Windows 10 compatible.

Hope this is helpful.

Bye Bye Windows. I switched to Apple. No regrets.Only positive results.

The other day I took the plunge - jumped from Win 7 to Win 10. I did update all of my drivers on my existing mother board, sound and graphics cards, monitors, mice, keyboard etc.... I had missing element pop up on my screen at startup. I googled the error and it directed me to delete a file. I did that all all works well.

The computer starts quickly as do all of the apps. I deleted any reaming win 7 files and I am quite pleased. It operates very much like win 7's interface, which is what I wanted.

And yet 50% of the desktop/laptop world uses Windows compared to 16% using OS X.

I use both and the argument that one is better than another never ceases to be tiresome.

I recently updated to Win 10. The only issues I had were A-I needed to download a new graphics card driver , and I needed to download updated codecs to see thumbnails of raw files in Windows Explorer etc.

Any why would that have any bearing on the OP's question? I just bought a Nikon 600mm f/4. What do you have? Exactly, nothing. That's not the OP's question. Stick to the topic and gloat or do whatever it is you need to do somewhere else.

Over the last three months I upgraded to Windows 10 on a Windows 7 desktop model and Windows 8.1 laptop... both running LR 5.7.

no problems on either

Congratulations, your computer now controls you.
