    Just tried it today, works great, much better than 8 even with 8.1. Though it really is just 8.2, that's why everything that works on 7 and 8 works on 10, all the games I've tried so far work fine. Still it's funny how simply removing the Metro start screen by default and adding a proper start menu makes a world of difference, you can still switch between the start menu and start screen if you want too, but why would you. It also feels much snappier, 8 always felt sluggish for some reason even if raw performance wise it was comparable to 7 or even better in some cases, at least in benchmarks. Latest AMD drivers work great on it and installed fine, dunno about Nvidia drivers.

    On my system 8.1 is smoother than 7. It really depends on driver version. Every month I test the new drivers and the last one is the smoothest of all in FFXIV (nvidia GTX760) on Windows 8.1. So it comes down to the drivers mostly.
    Windows 10 will be out next year and many features are left out from the tech preview so we are viewing an unfinished beta program yet. The final release will be much better.
