Well, main thing is stopped the software maintenance/upgrade programme with FS after jaws 14, because didn't want to pay for the next SMA then, so chances are either current jaws 16, or jaws 17 that will be released end of this year will handle it better, but, for example, one of the guys who's involved in NVDA development already mentioned on the blind programmer's mailing list that NVDA devs are working with pre-release versions of windows 10 already, and are pretty close to being comfortable with it's handling thereof.

Stay well

64 bit, I played around with the system tray icon relating to windows 10
upgrade confirmation, etc., and when I told it to check device/PC
compatibility, it told me the following:

This PC can be upgraded but there may be some issues.

These devices aren't fully compatible with Windows 10

Freedom Scientific Mirror Display Driver

You'll experience problems with your display.

Apps

These apps might not work correctly after the upgrade.

Freedom Scientific Talking Installer 14.0
Freedom Scientific JAWS 14.0

This is sort of confirmation that chances are that at some stage, NVDA will
definitely become my primary screen reader of choice...<smile>
