That would be interesting......I don't think there should be any problems.
I'm on the verge of a W10 assault on my laptop...;)

WPS installed fine, found the option to alter the start page, initially it was greyed out but I found that if I opened a New Document, the options became available.
All sorted, and it looks useful for future use.

I recommend having a look at W 10.
Runs ok on that pc, it's not been turned on for 10 days and tonight's updates were painful
It wanted to restart, I wanted it to just shutdown after installing updates, but it just hung at 1 of 3.
I had to turn off using the power button, restarted, applied updates, let it restart, everything behaved, then had to shut down in usual way.

Hi spud, I have used it in a VM with 3GB on my fedora lappy and the pain I feel is the fact that my virtualbox won't integrate fully yet, but it's early days and just got back from Spain so I will give it another go too.

I found that a recent version of VirtualBox (4.3.18) works better with Windows 10, as it has compatible Guest Additions.

However I did find that the Guest Additions wouldn't work well (read: crashed the machine and caused BSODs so I ended up reinstalling the whole W10) unless I enabled 3D acceleration and gave it more memory (256MB).
