I added Windows 10 in a dual boot configuration with my old faithful Windows 7 on my dedicated flight sim PC and all was fine until a Windows 10 creators update bricked both and I had to reinstall Windows 7, all my flight sims and all my other supporting software.

Now I am a dedicated Windows 7 user, since I have neither the time nor patience to do deal with all the problems caused by Windows 10 updates.
 
I have always believed you don't upgrade the major release version on your system, but if your starting with a blank slate or getting a new system then go with the latest.

My previous system was W7 and it upgraded itself to W10 and at the time I had no reason to switch back, but eventually it degraded to the point it was unusable.

Now the new machine which I have had for almost a year came with W10 and I have no complaints.
 
Just FYI. Mine is Windows XP Pro with all 3 service packs by hand. That machine is NEVER on the internet. No problems.
 
Windows10, without any major problems. Actually some display problems were miraculously solved by W10

4 computers on Windows 10. My main sim computer has had Windows 7, Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 on it (each clean installs). Have run FSX, FSX-SE, Rise of Flight, DCS, XPlane 10, P3Dv3, and P3Dv4 on Windows 10 with problems only with FSX.

Currently running FSX-SE, ADE, ModelConverterX, and Instant Scenery on my Windows 10 development computer with no issues.

All computers are fully up to date with Creators Edition and updates are automatically applied every week.

PS I also do not run P3Dv4 or other addons as admin or in compatibility mode....no need to.
 
Windows 10 from new on a new PC. It has had all the updates too as well and I've had no problems with it.

Except at the beginning when I had to look up and find some applications that were missing from W10. Other than that it's been excellent.
