I would install Windows 10 on a dedicated hard drive since it remains in the beta phase. I wouldn't place it on your primary storage until Windows 10 moves past the beta stage—get a backup drive and avoid loading it onto your current hard drive right now.
I’ve heard from numerous individuals facing issues with their graphics drivers on Windows 10. It’s best to steer clear of this for your gaming setup right now.
Evaluating whether breaking your raid array is beneficial depends on your specific situation and goals. Consider factors like resource availability, raid performance, and potential risks before making a decision.
I run Windows 10 as my primary operating system and everything functions smoothly. I haven’t tested gaming performance directly, but it should match or be lower than Windows 8 since we’re using a debug version and drivers are still being finalized. Typically, you’ll need to wait for the official driver updates after Windows 10 is released. Visual Studio 2013 and 2015 work well under Windows 10, which I use often. There are no reported problems. If you're using Visual Studio 2015 with the latest Windows 10 build (10049), Hyper-V won’t function unless you set it up in a previous version. This issue should be resolved in future releases. I think this specific build (10049) is only available in the fast release cycle; the slower builds (like 10041) are currently affected. The correct ISO appears to be 10041 based on what I remember. If Hyper-V isn’t a concern, you’re likely fine. My system specs include: Nvidia GeForce GTX 680 (tested with GTX 260 and GTX 780), ASUS Xonar Essence STX, Core i7 930.
It wouldn't be a solid choice as your primary operating system. While it works well for trying out new features and getting accustomed to them, I've encountered several problems—especially with drivers and Windows updates—that can cause conflicts and force incompatible software to malfunction.
