    Im on Win 10 and it's working fine for me. When you do the upgrade, it will wipe our your video driver install. Just reinstall that, and whatever antivirus you use, and you're good to go. The rest seems to be as is.

    Except for some reason my stupid exchange email won't connect anymore... but that's irrelevant to this question =D

    Just installed Windows 10. It just asked for access code which they email you. Took all of 30 seconds. Painless.

    Runs fine with Win10 and to me the game looks even better.

    Honestly...i would wait....you are really opening yourself up for a chance of major potential headaches upgrading this soon.

    Im waiting at least 2 months before i even consider it...working in IT for a living i need to make certain nothing gets broken, and its certainly plausible something won't work right.

    Driver support is in its infancy, there are a lot of under the hood changes in windows 10...i'll wait till AMD and Nvidia have 3-4 releases under Windows 10 final before i hitch my wagon to it...i don't have time to deal with the issues that will come up in the 1st month of release.

    I tried running ESO with 10. It didn't work well; ESO ate 98% of my CPU and dropped me to 2 FPS. And this was just in the login screen.

    What do you think about performance ? do you get more fps running eso with win 10 or the same as 8.1?
    I'd like to know also if there is any planning on making this game run on dx12.

    Windows 10 is a more up to date OS in regards of how it utilizes our Hardware, therefore a well optimized ESO will run better under Win 10. This is something that especially weaker CPUs will profit from.

    I wouldn't use 8.1 or 7 unless you rely on very specific programs due work. That said, give it a few weeks before you update and as for DX 12, Matt said that they are thinking about it, but don't have any ETA yet.

    My biggest fear in life is, ending up marrying a girl who is lactose intolerant, think about it you would have to purchase double the amount of milk every week, cause you enjoy the goodness of full cream milk and she is drinking soy beans, and her milk takes up extra room in the fridge, or when you are doing a midnight run to the fridge to get a nice cup of milk and to accidentally pour some Soy milk. I couldn't imagine a worst way to do married life. - Barry Scott

    No not a reinstall, just have to accept all the agreements again, put in your user name, configure your add ons, and do the email access code again. It took a good 5 mins after I logged in to get to the character select screen and then I had to quit and relaunch for it to even see my add ons.

    There is no real difference between Windows 7 through Windows 10 except cosmetics, and some insignificant backend things. At it's core all three systems are identical. Heck, even XP has a lot in common with 10. In other words, if it runs on 7 it will run on 10. Not to mention that this question has been answered before.
