To add to what @bob007 has already said, keep in mind that Windows 10 will not be available to purchase until probably late 2015 (maybe even this time next year), by which time support for The Sims 4 may have been confirmed.
At the moment, the Windows 10 "Insider Program" which is probably what you may have heard about being available is only really a technical version of the operating system for companies to start developing or modifying existing programs so they work with Windows 10. I would definitely not try playing The Sims 4 on this technical version, as there are limited drivers available (which allow the operating system to 'talk' to your computer's hardware).
So in short, the best advice is to wait until next year to know the answer to your question.
I hope this helps and keep simming,

Well, when it comes to those type of things, I get really scared and don't take risks. But we don't know, I don't think windows 10 is finished, of course it's not, try and wait to check some news about it and then, you'll have to risk :P
> I know Sims 3 will run on Windows 10 if you disable DEP. But Windows 10 isn't out for sale yet. It is is still in preview mode (Still Buggy).
Came googling for a fix and found this. Not for me it doesn't, not even with DEP disabled. If it's still not working in the release build, I wonder if EA will bother fixing Sims3 for win10 now it's out of favour for their new toy, even though it's still being sold on Origin? :neutral_face:
For all problems you have with technical demos, contact technical demo developers.
EA has nothing to do with it.
Update: Using compatibility mode for Windows 8 on the Sims 4 icon fixes it for 9926.
You should know that there have already been two versions of Windows that began with the number 9, specifically Windows 95 and Windows 98.
To save time, some third-party Windows desktop developers used a shorthand to check the version name (not number) of Windows they were installing their app to. Instead of coding apps to check for Windows 95 or Windows 98, developers coded instructions to check for "Windows 9."
That made sense since there were only two versions of Windows that had a nine in their name to that point. It was simply an easier way to figure out which version of Windows the program was dealing with.
Here's a Java code example that's been making the rounds on Google+, Reddit, and Twitter showing just this kind of version checking scheme.
Also check out this Windows 9 search on the code-focused search engine, searchcode, which was first identified by developer Christer Kaitila. At the top of the search results you'll see a bunch of code—again, Java—checking for Windows 9, but not Windows 9.
Microsoft may have looked out at the vast catalog of legacy code and decided the easiest way to avoid an annoying rewrite for all those programs was just to skip Windows 9 and head straight for Windows 10.
Accommodating legacy code may sound ridiculous, but it's certainly a plausible explanation and, if true, it's a smart move by Microsoft to not upset its developer base or potentially mess with customers happily using legacy software.

FYI, Windows 10 is actually going to be offered as a free upgrade to Windows 7, 8, and 8.1 users.
Wow, I didn't know that
"Love will Fight, Love will Win and Love will Survive."
When will windows 10 be released?
Most windows operating system updates don't really affect older games unless the kernal or core of the operating system changes or the bit changes.
Windows Me 95 98 was based of off the windows kernal, as Windows Xp, Vista, 7, 8, 10 are based off of Windows NT Kernal.
"Love will Fight, Love will Win and Love will Survive."
Does that mean the price of all computers will drop?
Edit: A gaming computer before christmas was 1,200 dollars, now some gaming computers are $900 dallors these are laptop computers with windows 8.1

Who ever has windows 7 or 8.1 can have the windows 10 for free, on the first year of release I think.
