Hey Susan - I've got a KA6 and recently (this week) upgraded to Win10. I haven't done any extensive testing, but haven't encountered any issues yet. I'll try to load up a few heavier old projects and see if they still perform as before. 

Hi okke-
 
Sorry, I think I missed your post somehow. I came back to report that I upgraded and likewise have no issues so far with the KA6.
 
Thanks!

Hi Max-
 
...I'm sort of in the same boat with my Komplete Audio 6. The NI web site suggests holding off on Windows 10 until they've completed compatibility tests with the release version.

Bummer. I have the same interface.
 
NI has a new driver for KA6, v4.2.0. Have you had a chance to try it out to see if it works? 
 
Though I doubt it officially supports W10, I'll try it later on my W10 laptop.
 

Well then you better read this from 10 days ago...

Apparently everything they've ever made works ;)

I'd still test it.

For information I updated my very capable 6 yr old HP Compaq desktop computer to Windows 10 which I use mostly for semi professional studio audio recording and production.

I find Windows 10 an excellent UI improvement to previous Windows versions and whilst Sonar Platinum seems to work great so far
I DEFINITELY DO NOT RECOMMEND LEAVING WINDOWS 7 or 8.1 YET!!!

Having researched the net I discovered that of all the audio interface manufacturers I checked Focusrite seems to be the only one with proven advanced beta testing of audio drivers for Windows 10 - but on downloading the latest updated mix control driver recommended by Focusrite I have continuous clicks and pops regardless of audio settings in Sonar and even when using windows media player.

I did however find a workaround - using generic low latency driver (I believe it came as part of a cubase / steinberg software install which you can get if you download a free trial) and my standard PC soundcard windows media player is fine and I can even run a 25 track audio Sonar session with many plug ins at the minimum allowed 10ms latency with no issues using the generic driver! It thus seems Windows 10 has improved audio latency performance for OM sound cards.

It also seems Focusrite beta drivers are not yet solid and reading the net every other manufactured is well behind - so I'd say wait because although I have a workaround I can't use my 6i6 interface, only the PC soundcard - and from what I have read I fear this could be the case for another 6 to 12 months

Some other info.

Since upgrading to Windows 10 my Sonar Platinums session now can't locate my waves vst3 plugins already in the session - I get a message saying waves plug ins missing but have checked waves license centre etc and they are available on my recent new custom PC running Windows 7.

I am fortunate as I have 2 dedicated PC systems for music production which is why I chose my old (but reliable) system to trial the upgrade to Windows 10 - on my experience don't do it yet it's way too early

FWIW the Focusrite 3.4 Mixcontrol DOES work perfectly with W10.

For the fun of it i upgraded to v 3.6 on Alex's reco, and yes, for the LS 56, they were/are both rock solid with a very very low latency. At least on my system. I do not believe all i read on the big internet.....

In fact upgrading to W10 put paid to my horrendous latency problem, so IMHO if you have a latency problem, then you should upgrade to W10. Oh, and i did't reset my Plugins ...........(sorry Alex, couldn't resist ! )

Cheers,
Jerry

This is posted on NI's website under support.  I upgraded from Win 8.1 to 10 a couple weeks ago after seeing this.  I have Maschine Studio and Komplete 10 Ultimate and have had no problems.  My audio interface is Focusrite 6i6.  This was the smoothest upgrade I ever had.

M Audio FireWire 1814 is working in Win 10 x64, with Win 7 drivers. 
 
Anyone had success with Yamaha SW1000XG? Not holding my breath...

No rush for me, that's why I am running Win 8.1 for my DAW. I won't upgrade till next year probably. In the meantime I've got a Win10 OS on dual boot so I can make sure everything will work before I do so.

 Mine wouldn't work with the old Intel P4 boards.  I still have an old Gigabye AMD socket A board with VIA chipsets that could still run it.
 
 M-Audio FW410, AP192 work on Windows 10.  I had to roll back a bad W10 upgrade but the interesting part was my Terratec EWx/2496 worked with Vista beta 64 drivers.
 
 I find it odd that those using W8 have problems with devices in W10.

M-Audio Firewire Audiophile works fine with Windows 7 64bit drivers. I had to reinstall the driver after upgrade.

Why did you have to reinstall the driver?

My Steinberg UR44 now has Windows 10 drivers and it works great. 

I have a Sd-90
By Roland/edirol Apparently Roland will not sully support for windows 10,as well my control surface/keyboard a PCR-500 from roland is the same thing no support coming for windows 10 anyone have any luck getting any of these to work under windows 10 and if so what drivers worked everything was fine with windows pro 7 I should not of upgraded :(

Anyone have any luck with an SD-90

I am using the wonderful Roland Octa-Capture  and when I installed Windows 10, there was no need to update anything, it continued to work fine with Sonar X3e without problems.   This is a great audio interface to have.
 
I read the detailed Octa-Capture reviews from Craig Anderton and I was sold.

Something hosed my UAD Apollo Quad Firewire and both UAD PCIe cards in Windows 8.2. No matter what I tried I could not get them to come back. UAD only officially supports Windows 7 anyway (a common sore spot for us Windows UAD users) so I threw a hail Mary and installed 10. 
 
Windows 10 found all three UAD devices and <so far> seems more stable than 8.2 was.
 
But I REALLY REALLY wish UAD would officially support Windows 10...
