I'm thinking of installing win 10 and was wondering if I will be able to pick up everything where I left it... Obviously I cannot request a 100% guaranteed result but I want to know if anyone has updated to win 10 and then run blender without a problem. Or did you have troubles? Anecdotal evidence welcome, it is surprisingly hard to come by :)

Thank you guys. I went with the update and (for what it's worth) everything went well. I barely notice that I changed OS, my files and apps are all there. Of course this is my own experience. Backup your data to be on the safe side.

    $\begingroup$ The only issue I had when upgrading to windows 10 was that the drivers for my GPU didn't update automatically to a compatible version. Once I updated them I had Zero issues. $\endgroup$

I 've gone from windows 7 to 10 and haven't had any problems. For safety of course save all your projects in an external hard drive, but you better wait other answers.

You can save your files in a save place, uninstall blender, update to windows 10, and install the last version of blender (2.77a when writing this) so you have a clean version.

As you can see in blender.org the last version is "Compatible with Windows 10 | 8 | 7 | Vista" so you won't have any* problem.

Or at least not more problems than with windows 7.

I had the same problem recently. Blender 2.79 didn't want to start on Windows 10. I used Intel® Driver & Support Assistant https://www.intel.ru/content/www/ru/ru/support/intel-driver-support-assistant.html which updated couple Intel drivers on my laptop including Graphics Driver. After restarting the system, the problem was solved - Blender starts and works well.

So yeah, it's the graphics driver problem as mentioned before.
