MS has pulled Windows 10 off pretty well, imho. I give it a thumbs up, fire up a virtual machine or a non-critical test machine, install 10 and start putting it through it's paces.

So far I had the UR44 problem and got it fixed. There was an issue with AD2 because it thought I had a new PC. Had to delete my desktop PC from my list of installs and then re-authorize it and now it seems 90%. There may still be some tweaks. All my Waves stuff is working ok as are all the Sonar plugs.
 
I can see why they gave it away for free. Win 10 is more like a huge shell than a PC O/S. Parts of it are designed for integration with mobile devices, parts are designed to make it a front end for the X-box and of course they installed a front end for their own media store. MS obviously wants to get ALL your business across ALL your platforms. Funny enough, I think they'll make more off of the free give away than any OS that came off the store shelf.
 
I'm finding the change between win 7 and win 10 to be much like the change between Sonar 8.5 and X3.

I think those are pretty astute comments.

SONAR "Gloucester" has been fully tested with Window 10. It's available in Command Center today.

When I upgraded to Win10 the only problem I had was the Nvidia Win10 patch didn't work and I couldn't change my display settings.  Reinstalled today & everything is peachy.
 
Everything seems to be faster, even in SPlat.  I have had Microsoft niggles, but the only thing I had to re-authorize was AD2.  The Spectrasonics & NI stuff didn't flinch, but I'm not seeing the Gloucester update in the CCC yet so... 

NVidia released Windows 10 drivers recently. I got the update today.

Thanks Noel.  They must have released the new driver last night, because the 10 driver I installed yesterday didn't work.  Dang, I should have taken screenshots. :-)
 

I know this is a Sonar forum, but has anyone have Cubase 8 x64 installed on their Win10 system? Steinberg gave a vague "performance and timing issues" reason as to why their users shouldn't update yet, but yet there's users saying that Cubase works fine on their personal Win10 systems.
 
I use Cubase just as much as Sonar, each has their own strengths.

I have a Roland UA-11 MKII and the Win8 driver is working great in Win10. Win10 is something I got for free. But it looks very well done. I'm looking forward to integrating my Phone (Nokia 1520) and my desktop machines more closely. And I do hope Microsoft makes some money with the app sales. On the iPad I was happy to spend a few quid. Now I hope the apps available on IOS and Android will be available on the Windows platform too. If well executed it would be great to experience the trouble free life we have had using windows 7 & 8.

Man, feel like I dodged a bullet.  I upgraded to Windows 10 today and lost interaction through my firewire port to my Saffire Pro 40.   The 1394 just acted like there was nothing there - no connect/disconnect indication, etc., even though the Saffire showed an active firewire connection (probably just a hardware thing, like an ethernet light).  In addition, my on-board audio (that runs my little PC surround sound speaker system) was not able to produce 5.1 surround - rear speakers would not work but front, center, and sub were good.
 
I played for hours with complete driver and app uninstalls, power-down, re-installs (for both the on-board audio as well as the firewire)... no joy.  I even tried the Windows 8/8.1 legacy 1394 OHCI for shizzengiggles - newp.  Even though Focusrite's website says the Saffire line is ready for Windows 10, my experience says otherwise.
 
The good news is, the roll back is super-quick - took about ten minutes - and everything is working well again.
It's a damned shame too, cuz I was liking a lot of what I was seeing in the interface (although some things are maddening - I felt like they were actually trying to hide the device manager "button" ... and I needed it a LOT).
 
Needless to say, I could/did not test how all my plugs would behave - I was too busy yelling in Python voice "RUN AWAY!  RUN AWAY!"
 
So it's Win 7 for me for a while until real support materializes.  Makes me laugh at the reports that MS is getting serious about audio... how about a little help on the firewire guys, and don't play the it's old tech card here... there's lots of installed base out there.  A serious race car has a rear view mirror.
