I have to second that opinion. Win 10 is a definite no-go. Forced updates (regardless of stability), no privacy, and they steal your bandwidth. Seriously, I would avoid this disaster like the plague.
disaster? ... you mean windows in general ...
admittedly though - windows 7 seemed to be the most stable ( mining wise ) of the lot of windows OSs ... but even then - it has nothing on linux based miners as far as stability and protection on 'spy' tactics are concerned ...
so the suggestion to downgrade is valid - but if there is any chance at all to do it ... go linux ...
all the miners on fedora 19 and 20 x64 ( depending on whether they are nvidia or amd miners - .rpm based ) which can be a pain at times ... but it seems a great many miners are also on ubuntu ( .deb based ) or similar ...
in anycase - go with what is more reliable to YOU ... downgrading from windows 10 seems to be the better way ...
