Well, we tested Win10 with a friend and it simply sucks. Nothing works properly out of the box: Firefox is blurry, Gourmet fails, so does VirtualBox. Hedgewars and Supertuxkart have a screwed display. Garmin Express is unusable. Win10 lags. Spies. The only advantage - it's not as ugly as Win8 (but still)

Visually, even my mom prefers either Unity or Cinnamon to Win10. And with many missing drivers & some hardware problems, Linux seems to be just as stable as the alpha quality Windoze.

I'd suggest you install a Linux distro in parallel. You can use some nightly of VirtualBox which (hopefully) may not have *so many* problems to find out the desktop environment for you.
