1. Performance is supposed to be better (there are threads on this forum with perf testing performance). 
2. Tough to quantify, however some have said improved stability as well.
3. Development efforts within MS and audio interface companies are focused on Win 10 - people aren't developing enhancements on older Operating Systems or drivers. 
4. I believe it may still be a free upgrade from MS as well, although that may be ending soon.
5. For me, it's something that's going to be necessary at some point down the road, as Microsoft will eventually drop support for earlier operating systems. Win 10 isn't 'new' anymore, it's been thoroughly vetted and tested throughout the industry, so unless you're running an antiquated audio interface that doesn't have Win 10 drivers, you should be fine.

Windows 10 was released on 29th July and was a free update for a year so 28th July is the last day when it's free.

I haven't had any probz with Win10. In fact the upgrade process was the most painless yet.

Make sure your interface has drivers for Windows 10!
If it does not have Windows 10 drivers, it MAY work, but then again (Like my old Presonus FirePod) it may not...

+1 for Win 10.  However, FIRST thing to do is make a disc image (backup) of your OS drive.  On the remote chance that Win 10 fails and you must go back, the built in fall back doesn't always go well.  Having a disc image makes restoring easy.  (We should all have disc image backups anyway - not for IF they are needed but for WHEN they are needed).

I would love to upgrade but I'm getting a Sysprep FIRST_BOOT error (three attempts). I have a work computer that I tried to upgrade at least 15 times. It took less time and effort to install 10 on a new hard drive and reinstall my programs. I worked on that machine for days before giving up. I'm not so sure I'm up for that with my studio computer. I may have to ride Windows 7 out till 2020.

Have you tried uninstalling your Anti Virus program/turn off Win Defender first (before upgrading to Win 10)?....here's more info on this:
