Well, I downloaded 10074 (or whatever the latest build is) the other day, installed it on freshly created partition and it's working well now. A little slower than Windows 8, but I have Windows 8 installed on a 256gig SSD and Windows 10 on quote an old HDD, so it's not really a fair comparison.

It worked well enough that it picked up everything apart from my GFX and Sound Cards. A quick visit the Nvidia website sorted the problem with the GFX card and although they aren't advertised as compatible, the Windows 7/8 drivers for my sound card work fine.

I'm seriously thinking of replacing Windows 8 with it.
