    Well in addition to that new Nvidia hotfix driver release (reported to fix mem leaks and BF4) I see that MS did perhaps kick some butt as many of the Creative drivers are now available (see the link) including my XFI Titanium that were originally planned for October release.

    Just might give Win 10 a try now on this gaming desktop. FYI, I updated a 6 year old Dell laptop on the weekend with zero issues but that is a very different scenario with very basic hardware.

    Keeping my fingers crossed.

    PS: Brink, I only looked quickly but I must say I'm still confused as to how (if at all possible) to get an automatic update scenario in Windows 10 exactly the same as Win 7-8 where I can see all the available updates and I'm never bothered again simply by not selecting them to download or install or until I choose to download and install them. Isn't clear to me that the Group Policy edit does that as I believe someone mentioned you have to run a different executable to get that to happen. Guess I'll be looking at that later.

    Thanks for visiting TenForums. Glad I could help out. Hope Nvidia figures out the BF4/SLI thing, and hope to see you back here sometime soon.
    Well I have the 355.82 Nvidia drivers installed along with the Creative Win 10 XFI Titanium drivers.

    Battlefield 3, 4 and the newly purchased (for the second time) Hardline running well for me in Win 10, SLI Kepler. All settings at Ultra. BF3 the same performance as Win 8, BF4, sometimes lower min frame rates but running smooth. Hardline performance is good, slightly better than BF4.

    And NO crashes. Both GPU's clocking up to 1167 based on 80 degrees temp control. Both GPU's at 98% usage. Similar to Windows 8, but in Win 8 only with drivers below 347.88. Drivers above would eventually crash with the frostbite engine.

    What's pleasing me is in Win 10 I can use the latest Nvidia drivers (so far) with no BF crashes. If it stays that way AU won't be an issue for me:)
