Window 10 upgrade question

Hi:  I am still on Win7 (64bit).  Just reserved Windows 10, which is a free upgrade.  Do any of you have any trouble running any of your music software programs on Window 8 or 8.1?  I have never seen the need to upgrade, but noticed that one of my music programs is listing Win 7 as the minimum.  So i figured, since it is free, why not upgrade to 10.
 
So any concerns about upgrading to 10?

    I've been running Win 8.1 flawlessly....it's pretty amazing...
    I've also been a Win 10 Insider....first release was a bust...nothing
    worked...but there should be no concerns for upgrading...

    Mine from Win 7 to 8 to 8.1 were pretty painless

    I also have Win 8.1 and quite happy with how snappy it is.  I never had Win 7, but did notice a "snappier" performance going from Win 8 to Win 8.1.
     
    As long as all you hardware (midi controllers, audio interfaces etc...) have good driver support, it should work out for the better.
