Just considering the same option.. New laptop with 4K screen (would have preferred 1920 but hey). I assume Windows 10 works better with 4K screen scaling, I saw on a previous thread that Soft was ok with this.
I want to use KinectV2 but this will only run on 8.1 upwards (usb3 driver issue). But I assume win8.1 scaling for 4K won't work so well. Again.. Linux not an option with the various amounts differing software need to run on the box. Stuck between a rock and a couple of squishy places. Will try Win10 and prepare to roll back.
