Yes they do, but you have to turn off compatibility mode for Windows XP (SP2). I found if it was on, I had no mouse input. Turning it off did the trick, although there it takes longer to boot up the game (I had a black screen for about 10 seconds). I think this is to do with the new networking in Win 10. I need time to play with this to see if it can be fixed.

At least it is better than Windows 8(.1).

With Win8 you have these two options:
- XP SP3 compatibility mode: No gamma control and no black screen on start.
- No compatibility mode: Gamma control, but about a 1 minute or more a black screen on start.

Does r_gamma work on Windows 10?

is there a way to keep my stable Win7 and install Win10 besides (on another harddrive)?

Not unless you want to buy a stand-alone copy of Windows 10. The "free" upgrade is just that - an upgrade. It needs Windows 7 for the base system to upgrade.

If you want to create a dual boot system, you will need to install Windows 7 on the second drive, and then upgrade that to windows 10.

Alright, thanks I'll think I wait abit longer.

There wasnt much I missed when I downgraded from 8.1
(a little bit faster, some neat functions in the explorer ui, the built in multi-monitor support and the cloud drive)

Waiting for you cursing or praising of it someday

Works great from here, didn't even had to install anything. Worked instantly without problems. Even Cod1 and UO work great
