Why don't you give it a try, it's free, virusproof and open source.

Coz there is no Cubase for Linux so my music DAW is windows, but hell I have set up plenty Linux servers and it rocks for that.
AnyHoo, I'm on Windows 10 now for my laptop and it is running really well although a few probs with Cubase timing which I expect an update will follow soon.
Other issues with 10,
1. automatic updates can't be turned off and Microsoft decided they can update 3rd party drivers with whatever they decide is better, yes you can then uninstall these drivers but windows puts them back. .... Bad , this needs addressing.
2. Issues with Cubase, I expect a quick fix for this though.
3. The latest Quicktime is not compatible and the older version has security issues. Ok nobody really wants to use Quicktime on a pc but some programs need this. Of course these programs should be modified to use a superior format now.
Overall I like Windows 10, and it's a free upgrade if you have windows 7 or 8.1
My advice to anyone who wants a clean install, do the upgade to your existing windows first, you then need to extract the new product key as it will change from your original 7or8.1 key, use Magical jelly bean keyfinder for this. Download the full ISO disk for windows 10 by using the 'Media creation App' then install as any other windows distro.
It's fairly straight forward, if you want to start it , press start. You can work out the rest of the controls for yourself !
No silicon heaven ? preposterous ! Where would all the calculators go ?
