Hi:

 

There may be some devices that won't work on W10.

 

My biggest concern would be the IDT audio.

 

Some W8 drivers will work on W10.

 

If you can't get W10 Pro for free, I wouldn't risk it.

 

Put the $200 cost of W10 Pro toward a new or off lease mobile workstation that comes with W10 already,
