More of a collection of info than a help thread, but figured i'd put my findings out here. If i find more issues or fixes i'll post here, and would like others to do the same.
It is a pre-release OS so bugs are to be expected.
Running 7970/280x crossfire i've encountered a bunch of odd bugs with the few drivers available to windows 10, and thought i should share the findings.
Single GPU on either driver is fine, and many games perform better than in windows 7 or 8.1 - its personal experience, but it feels like some of the CPU limitations are reduced.
Using the windows update driver: (doesnt have a catalyst version number)
Starcraft II has severe issues, totally unplayable. Quite often the game would start and i'd still see the loading screen. Alt-tabbing would get me audio, but no video.
Catalyst 15.7 (at the time of writing the only driver available for download manually)
Starcraft II worked most of the time, but some of the ladder maps had 'lights' around the edges of the map that caused large flickering squares around them.
Video playback - even CPU driven - tends to freeze if the video is paused and left alone for a few minutes. Windowed mode/single GPU was fine for both on this driver.

. I'm about to update to Win10 on my main rig with 290 crossfire, so this will sure to be of help.
