I've no issues, however I'm using Win10 Pro. Win10 Home may or may not have issues.  I've seen a LOT more complaints (from a various other games) coming from folks with Win10 Home than from those with Win10 Pro.

Stay away from Win 10 Home - windows is bad enough without running microsoft crippleware.

Doesn't mean you cannot get it.  It should be able to handle Win10 Pro, but cannot really be sure unless you post the spec's of the machine.

I had been having few problems until the recent Creator's update.  Now my gaming puter is too unstable for me to play.  I'm not sure if it is Win 10 or just circumstantial, and perhaps a hardware problem...still trying to sort it out as I have time, but Win 10 rollback, then perhaps reinstall is coming up next for me to try.....

It works very well.
Depends on who you ask.
A lot of people (names unmentioned) are very against Windows 10.
Myself, I think the game runs "Fantastic" using Windows 10.

I have a retail copy of Win 10 Home (meaning that I bought it) and to date I haven't had issues from it.........

This may be due to it being a paid-for retail version but FWIW I also put in a lot of time reading up on Win 10 so when I installed it on my Team Red box I didn't use the automated choices, I actually went thru and turned off as much of the stuff that I could that I either 1.) wasn't gonna use or 2.) allowed the telemetry data mining that I didn't want happening during the installation process.

So far, so good for me.

I use Windows 10 home and I have absolutely 0 problems with any game I play. The only thing I dislike is the way browsing your computers files is setup. Unless your familiar with Windows Explorer, it'll take a little getting used to. But once you do, it's even easier than 7 or earlier.

Windows 10 does have some issues on my computer after updates, causing instability on the machine, though not noticeable in any games.  I've been able to fix them by updating drivers (interestingly, the last one that I had to update to fix it was the Realtek audio, which apparently was updated twice within a week, so either Windows was switching something that didn't play well, or Realtek's first update wasn't all they hoped it would be.  I'm not sure why Windows 10 seems to cause more problems with drivers than previous versions, but I eventually installed one of those driver update programs.  If you don't trust the drivers from the program, you can make a note of what drivers it says need updating and go to the appropriate vendor site instead.

One hint: At the first boot of a Win10 computer it says there's a few things to do. Then it takes you to a screen telling there's some adjustments to be made. There's a HUGE bar down right saying something like "It's easy, just click here!" while in the down left there's a low contrast petite text saying "please, let me modify". Basically you'd want to disable everything it offers since all the options just want to know you better for targeted advertising. Note that the same thing comes after every version update!

I've got an older system by today's standards that still runs the game well by my standards.

I am running Win10 home, the only trouble I have had is the latest update stopped my windows defender and had to go get the fix for that, but it runs the game very very well
