Upgraded my Core i7 a week or so ago and have had no issues. Have had a ruthless Borderlands 2 addiction and Windows 10 ran that game perfect. Have used Windows 10 with Dawn of War 2, Skyrim, Diablo 3, and Satellite Reign. No issues with any of those games. In fact, I actually believe the graphics in Borderlands 2 looked slightly better under Windows 10. I'm a seriously old school gamer and graphics don't mean a whole lot to me so they really have to stand out in order to catch my attention. Everything seemed more crisp and vibrant. Excellent frames and solid performance. Games ran fine under Windows 8.1 but they seem to have a little extra pop under Windows 10. Be aware my stuff is all digital now eitherr through Steam or others so that eliminates at least some of the DRM nonsense that tends to crop up with a new OS. For what it's worth I've upgraded all 3 of my machines to Windows 10. One of them is an old Core 2 Duo with 2GB of ram I use for menial tasks. A few months ago I put Windows 8.1 on it and it ran OK but was kind of sticky here and there. I decided to upgrade that same machine to Windows 10 and it runs silky smooth. It runs better than it did the day I bought it although it came with Vista so that's not saying much. The privacy issues are a serious concern but in terms of performance I'm impressed with Windows 10.
