No additional limitations from what you already know of a 64bit OS. There are some tricks for installing drivers, and you must run scope as admin.
Search the site for Windows 10 driver and you should get the extra steps for disabling windows signed driver checks.

If you use ableton live 9, you have to run it in compatibility mode. the VST "Addictive Keys" doesn't work if host is run in comp mode. I haven't stumbled upon any other VSTs with this issue, although they might exist.

win 10 is very stable.
the problem with win10 is simply that it spies on you and uses your computer as a storage hub to distribute files to other win10 computers. you can disable these "features", however. win10 also likes to update without your permission, which is great for the average housewife, but not so great for your productions. this cannot be disabled, but you can make the connection "metered", which stops the behavior. it's a little bit tricky to set an ethernet connection as metered. it takes a registry hack. i've used win10 on several machines and it's a very nice os, while in use. Scope works the same as in win7.

i'm not sure that is a good idea if you go to win10. most of the win10 world requires the internet from time to time, since the whole purpose of win10 and beyond is to eliminate your local harddrive and programs for cloud storage and apps...
here's the info you need, more or less.
