Certainly I am assuming even if it does, manufacturers will invest dollars into making it happen. But I am wonder, if for example you have a tablet currently on Windows 8.1, can you just throw in the upgrade and have everything work okay, or is it more complicated than that...
nathan: Windows Update checks to make sure your device is compatible before offering Windows 10 to it
Will be very very rare for a Windows 8.1 machine to not be able to run Windows 10
Isn't the driver model still the same between Windows 8 and 10?
There's a good question. I suspect there will be some minor differences. Hopefully that doesn't cut out major chipset designs for mobile devices.
I might be misunderstanding with respect to mobile devices but I assume you mean mobile phones etc. Windows 8.1 and Windows Phone 8.1 are two different beasts, don't confuse them with each other.

Well no, I meant tablets and phones. But your right WP 8.1 is a whole different beast, and compatibility issues might be stronger with phones because of it. Then again, there aren't many handsets, so they probably have been extensively tested. There are a lot more tablets than phones.
