I have been playing around with win 10 for a while now, first in a virtual machine but lately as a dual boot with Win 8.1. Now I am seriously thinking of making Win 10 my main OS.
My question - with Win 8.1, I use Windows Live Mail, will this be supported under Win 10?
TIA

Yes. I am using it now. FYI, After you install WLM, what you could do is to copy the whole content of: C:\Users\<userlogin>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Live Mail from your Windows 8.1 to the same place in Windows 10 then run WLM. Everything will be there ie. Your emails, accounts etc...
EDIT: Another thing you need to do is to export your Email Contacts from Windows 8.1 to a csv file then from Windows 10, import it back.

I think Contacts are stored in the %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Live folder - you can copy that folder over as well. I'm not on a machine with weMail (WLM) installed and this is from memory.
See if the folder Contacts is in the Live folder, if it is my memory isn't that bad
If it's not where I think it is, then search for Contacts in %LOCALAPPDATA% : There are other sub-folders in the same folder as Contacts (Bci) that deal with updating the program, you don't need those, but it doesn't hurt either.
Rules, if you use them are stored in the registry - again, I don't have the exact reference, but the key is easy to recognize \Windows Live Mail\Rules or along those lines. You can export the rules from Win8.1 and import them on Win10
Thank you both for your help.
I intend to take an image of 8.1 partition, then to delete the dual boot and upgrade the 8.1 to Win 10. So a bit of preparation to do 1st.
Many thanks
