Will PowerDirector be set for the new Windows 10 operating system that will be released later this year?

Seems like it will be an upgrade for everyone, as it will be FREE to all Windows7, Windows8 & 8.1 users.

Allot of new features will be included, such as a new DirectX 12 and holograms.(This may get interesting for PowerDirector)

Has anyone tried the beta with Cyberlink products, yet?

I've been running WIn10 preview for awhile and can't tell much difference between it and Win8. They did bring back something like the old Start menu, Added more Modern UI apps that I'll never use, but I'm not impressed yet.

Holograms? I wouldn't call it that. From the demo video I've seen, it's more like a virtual realty headset. Intel i7 4770k, 16GB, GTX1060 3GB, Two 240GB SSD, 4TB HD, Sony HDR-TD20V 3D camcorder, Sony SLT-A65VK for still images, Windows 10 Pro, 64bit

Thanks for the respond.
I had a feeling that this was allot of hype.
I love my Windows7. Hated Windows8 and never tried 8.1. I probably won't like Windows 10.
This is only the beta release of Windows 10 so something may not be up to par yet.

With Win8.1, I run an app called Classic Shell which adds back the real Start menu. Looks just like Win 7 ;

I use Classic Shell on my laptop too...
As for Windows 10 free upgrade - I will probably do that on some of my computers, but not on my Media Center because... looks like MC it will not be supported anymore. Worse, the DVD's won't play anymore without a 3rd party player (no MPEG2 licensing)!

MSFT took that out in Win 8. Media Center wasn't included with Win8 either, but can be purchased as an add-on. Since .WTV is difficult to convert, I may end up using Hauppage's WinTV or MythTV or some other app to rec my shows.

Only MS MC can record encrypted shows from Cable-Card tuners like SiliconDust's hdhomerun prime.
And if in Windows 8 you could buy a MC license, those licenses looks like won't work in Windows 10:

And I wouldn't expect those licenses to work in Win10. I read something on a MS Blog (sorry didn't copy the URL) that MSFT has heard the message, but can't release any info on Media Center or their plans yet. I would surprised if they dropped it. There is plenty of room for add-ons like Hulu, YouTube, Amazon VOD, etc. This is an area Microsoft should have covered already.
