I also jumped from 8.1 to Win 10 and was a seamless process. For a good month, I've been having this intermittent internet connection to no connection at all issue, but on the Windows ten forums, a 16 yr. old guy solved it for me . In case someone else may run into this issue, this was the fix:
 
under "Networking", click the "Configure" button. Go to "Power Management" and uncheck the box that reads "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power"
 
Now my internet is running at full speed!! :))
 
I am also now with the general concensus (Nike) bunch.....JUST DO IT!!!

General concensus------JUST DO IT!!!!!         Lol!

And vote Trump ;)

Number one make sure your drivers and hardware are compatible. Backup first. I'm not upgrading my DAW until 2016, too many teething issues with Win10 (all my other PC's are on it).

Hey Mesh  Glad you got the internet problem solved. I am going to jump from Windows 7 to 10 next month.   Dan

Thanks King.....I'm very happy as I was dreading going back to Win 8.1 (which I was very close to doing) and I also didn't want to give up in solving this issue. It was really annoying as I do like to game online as well and this just simply cancelled that option. Just the day to day functions were severely immobilized and it was like being on those 56k modems.
 
Like the good Dok says, make sure all your hardware has good driver support and you should be good to go. Win 10 is much more 'snappier/responsive' and very pleasant to work in.

8.1 >10 easy and successful.  Little hiccup with my Octacapture, but a reset of aud.ini resolved that.

We only have one 8.1 machine in the house. The Lovely Lady gets real nervous about change. When her XP machine crapped out we bought her computer with 8.1 already installed. She had to upgrade three pieces of business related utilities to the tune of another $100. 
 
I for one would be sure that her machine would upgrade without additional cost but she says until there is a compelling reason to do so, I am not allowed to upgrade her computer to Win 10.
 
I have four workstations upgraded to Win 10. I have not done the DAW yet as I want a full weekend to verify that every project I have will (at least) open and play without missing or inoperable plugs.
 
For the DAW I have an exact model drive to be cloned just before I upgrade, That way I'll have three backup measures available to me.
1. Win 10 Rollback-> Win 7
2. Cloned drive
3. Acronis Backup
 

Unfortunately, my upgrade from Win 7 to Win 10 on my notebook went wrong.  First, my Line 6 Guitar Port could not be recognized by any of my recording softwares although Win 10's Groove and Media Player could (yes, Line 6 made available Win 10 drivers for my device); then, an Intel update for display simply made my machine sleep forever... Luckly, I had an Acronis bkp and could restore it back.  I think I was almost resolving the problem with the Line 6 drivers and Win 10 when this other problem appeared...  Now, I'm gonna wait till next year to decide...

King_Windom, love your Mosrite avatar.

Support for 7 will end pretty quickly as will support for 8.1.

That I very seriously doubt.  Business users will simply not stand for it.  My last employer, a major utility, didn't get around to upgrading to Win 7 (from XP) until Win 8 was already released.  The expense for a company-wide upgrade is massive for a fortune 500 operation.  I'm confident we'll have Win 7 with us for quite a few years.

Yep, same here when I went from XP to Win 7 on my home-office computer.  Really annoying having to shell out money for things like Photoshop Elements.  Even more painful to have to buy a working copy of Nero to replace the perfectly adequate one that came free with some DVD drive bought years ago.
