I know with my Printrbot Metal and MakerBot as soon as I connected the printer Win10 installed special drivers (i.e. plug-and-play) and identify the 3D printer along side the standard computer printers. Great concept, if it worked. :-)

The custom drivers appear to make the printer work with Microsoft's free "3D Builder" app (https://channel9.msdn.com/Blogs/3D-Printing), but messes up Repetier, etc. that expect the printer to be on a USB-to-Serial port. And if you uninstall the new driver it will just reinstall itself when the printer gets connected. I am in the process of trying to uninstall the entire "Printrbot Driver Package", but this is a complex procedure.

Bottom line, stay on Win7 for now on the computer you use to interface your 3D printer.
