Hi there
The whole UEFI thing is Pie in the sky -- there's almost BILLIONS of perfectly serviceable non UEFI computers out there which are quite capable of running Windows.
If you use an SSD in any case there's usually not much value into turning that into a GPT drive. Other GPT drives can be perfectly read and written to by non UEFI computers.
On my laptop I've installed an SSD drive. I installed the normal version of Windows even though the laptop has UEFI capability.

I've both read that somewhere and I've had to do that when one of mine died years ago.. but it might not be the same today.

I guess that a yes according to beta news. Just like here, people in the comments disagree. Dual booting could be a problem, I think WHS dual boots as well.
A close look at the Windows 10 system requirements for smartphones, tablets and PCs
One thing I am confused on in the comments, Is it really true it won't even allow a cd/dvd/usb drive with another operating system to boot up? If so that is actually scary. The reason it is scary, it because sometimes you to need to use a disks that works outside of windows, to fix issues. I see trouble with mini-wizard partition boot cd.Regardless of the configuration, UEFI 2.3.1 must be supported and secure boot enabled.
I don't think that requirement #6 is correct. How would users with Windows 7 computers be able to upgrade if they don't have a UEFI computer. I know my Windows 7 computers don't Have UEFI or secure boot.
