No popups for me.  I think that it may be because I turned all of the Microsoft phone home settings off.  So far, I am more than happy!

Did the upgrade today from an ISO image burned to DVD. Quickest ever. Completely hassle free.

So far only my Alphatrack has stopped working but all else is OK but obviously have to spend a good bit more time. Will test for August and if all OK still then I will do a fresh install. Although I'll see how it shakes out.

I will be bummed if both my Tranzport and FW-1884 drivers for WIN 7 will not work in Win 10.

 I have a FW410, AP2496 working in W10. It will use W7 drivers.

I performed an upgrade from Windows 7 x64 to Windows 10 x64. 
No problems encountered during the install.
All my apps show up, and my desktop looks exactly as I left it before I inserted the install media.
 
I was most worried about the Echo Layla 3G audio drivers, so I immediately run Sonar Platinum x86 (32-bit) and open a recent project.
Problem #1: No MIDI device selected.
However, my MIDISPORT 2x2 is installed and all I needed to do was tell Sonar to use it. I think maybe Windows is iterating over the devices and the MidiSport was assigned a new ID or something? Anyway, after selecting it, it just worked as expected. Yay!
 
Problem #2: on closing the project, I got a couple of errors:
"ERROR: Couldn't save configuration file to: c:\program files (x86)\cakewalk\vstplugins\VB3.ini"
"LFX-1310.con file can't be accessed"
 
Both of these issues turned out to be permissions. The user account that I was running SONAR under no longer had permission to write to files under c:\program files (x86).
 
This makes sense and I actually like it - except for some reason, VSTs like to write to their .ini files and keep them in the same directory as the DLLs.
 
For folks who keep their VST plugin directory somewhere else, like, say, "c:\vstplugins", I wonder if this is an issue?
 
Anyway. I marked the SONAR shortcut as "Run as Administrator" under Compatibility and the errors went away.
 
So right now, I'm pretty happy. I can confirm that the following hardware Just Works:
Echo Layla 3G (64 bit)
Midisport 2x2 Midi interface

I upgraded to Win 10 Pro from 8.1 Pro yesterday and have had no issues (knock on wood). I was most concerned about the Audiobox USB audio interface drivers but they have been quite content to run under 10. So far I can confirm that Presonus Audiobox drivers, EWQL Play, NI Kontakt 5 and of course Sonar Pro (Gloucester) run just fine.
 
One goody in Win10 -a screen recorder that can record stereo audio and video (WIN+G). I use VoiceMeeter to record ASIO audio.

Alas, I spoke too soon. I am getting pops and crackles on playback now. I hope this is something easy to fix.
 
It seems to be related to the ASIO buffer size.
At 256 samples it is very noisy.
At 1024 it seems to have settled down - I heard one quiet "tick" in a 10 second playback.
 
I normally run at 512 and it's been rock-solid and quiet. 
 
I may trying re-installing the audio driver...
 
Update (the following day):
 
I re-ran the install for the audio driver, and re-booted. Problem is no longer apparent. Seems rock-solid again. I have 9 problems but pops-n-crackles ain't one of them.

I have updated from Windows7 on an old (read i5 760M) 32bit Compaq. It has been fairly painless and apart from a few issues re registering third party software, Sonar seems to working as before the upgrade.
I will be giving it a thorough workout before I go near my desktop though, and I'll be finishing a lot of projects too.
There are always going to be hurdles to get over and hoops to jump through, especially since I skipped Windows8. But I can't stay on Win7 forever, and my computers are just getting older, so it's just a matter of when, not if.

Upgraded a couple of months ago within Insider program...
Had no any problems with my MOTU 828mk3, Cubase, Rapture, FL Studio or lots of any other stuff I'm using in my music studio. Latency looks the same as I had with Windows 8.
