XIV unplayable on Windows 10 Until Mid August?Follow
I upgraded to Windows 10 and everything seems to be working just fine.

My biggest beef with 8/8.1 is that WS_FTP LE 6.0 finally stopped working with it and I had to join the 21st century. FEH.
Hm. That wouldn't work for me on 7. I ended up using the FireFTP add-in to Firefox.
And if you want a real flashback to the 1980's, my Linux machine at work has forcefully reverted from Gnome to twm. Command line Unix, groovy, baby!
Windows 8 actually ran faster than Win 7 and did a better job with SSD's. Of course the UI was a mess. Some common functions in Win 7 almost required a detective to find in Win 8. You could do an image backup easily on Win 7. Win 8 buried the function in an obscure menu and 8.1 would not provide restore media. Very easy to find in W 10
I am not surprised to see compatibility problems or disclaimers. This always happen with new operating systems. Plenty of bugs and incompatibility problems are coming in the near future with 100% certainty.
Even I register myself for free Win10 upgrade, I will probably never upgrade. Don't upgrade for its own sake; only upgrade if there are new functions that you want or need.

Isn't this the purpose of any update... to provide new features and functions?
I'm pretty excited about the Cortana features. I haven't tried it yet.

Win10 only has some compatibility issues with extremely old programs and games that were already having issues on Windows 7 and 8/8.1. If you have some extremely exotic PC parts that were barely supported to begin with you'll definitely have issues.

I haven't been paying attention to the new features of Windows 10. May be I am desensitized by all those silly new MS Office releases (I am happy with good-ole MS Office 2003; laugh), so I stop paying attention to new MS software releases. The only reason kept from me going Linux at home (Linux full time at work) is that I am too lazy to configure Wine to work with PC games.
It must be my engineer mindset that I prefer simple things that I understand and do what I want (see my signature). I have never too keen on new stuff with functions that I don't know what it does. The only thing I got somewhat excited with tech for the last 3 year or so is Apple Pay; but no, I am not an Apple fanboy, and I am too cheap to get a new phone so I can use Apple Pay! (laugh)

So far with my experiences of Cortana, she's only basically function, bringing up default Bing search for anything that she doesn't understand. I can get her to open FFXIV, though she asks me to differentiate between the main client and the benchmarks I still have on my computer.
I would say it's somewhere between the base functionality of Xbox spoken commands, and Siri right now - I do hope they expand upon her continually.
So far I don't find her all that useful.

I tried similar function with my PS4 and iPhone, and I wasn't too impressed as well. It would have been faster that I will just do it manually. Anyway, we will see how this technology will evolve in the future. I don't know how big a phone, game console, or PC needs to be if those Cortana-like functions to be as good as the IBM Watson.

A friend of mine successfully and easily installed Windows 10 on three of four machines. The fourth had the OS on an SSD, and the rest of the programs and data were on a conventional HD -- the upgrade process borked mightily at this and left the machine in an unstable state. Since I use a similar division on my PC, I have no intention of upgrading at this point.
And that aside from all the privacy concerns with Windows 10 basically sending information to Microsoft about everything you do.

It's not even bad when you disable it all. You can even disable the 'basic' data share for crash reports and so on. It's just bad if by now after using the internet for a long period of time you don't choose "custom install", you'll never escape stuff like that :p
I've got Win 10 on 2 computers, my "old" custom rig (I7-870) and a bootcamped Mac mini. I'm happy with it on the custom, but I hate the Mac. Had everything running well, all the drivers updated. Crafting something important and FFXIV froze. I can't remember the last it the game froze on me. Told my wife I'd never play on the Mac again. Next day I got HW for the PS4 and I'm a happy boy now. 
I think you've been smoking the Moko...
