I like to think of us all as professionals. That is obviously the case. As professionals, WE are responsible for staying up to date on changes in our field. That includes reading about new tech, using it where applicable (for example, HoloLens is very cool, but I don't see applicability in what I'm doing). The reading includes news stories, blogs, and forums. It also means SEARCHING for answers. If one reads the press about Windows 10, you'll know that IT JUST WORKS. And Microsoft has gone to great lengths to make sure pretty much everything works with it, provided you're talking about PCs. The question regarding Windows 10 has been asked and answered here *many times*. So a simple search would have gotten the answer.

VFP will not work in all flavors of Windows 10. Raspberry Pi comes to mind as does Windows Phone. I have no idea what hardware HoloLens uses, but I suspect VFP won't work there either.

Finally, there could be some strange third party control that is required for a VFP app and it happens to be one of the VERY few things that won't work with WIndows 10. I have no way of knowing if it will work or not and neither do you. The ONLY way to tell is with testing.

As for setting up a test machine. It's so easy. Provision an Azure instance of Windows 10 Preview. Done.
