Decided to take advantage of the student pricing for Windows 8.1 Pro, and upgrade for $69.99. Currently taking online courses for work with a local university, and have a .edu email address. Running BOINC 7.2.31 (x64) with no problems so far. I've been a Windows CE/Mobile/Phone user for a while so the Modern UI isn't much of a shock to me. I haven't experienced any issues so far or loss in performance. I'm running SkynetPOGS and Asteroids. Nothing for GPU until I can find some tools to monior temps and crank up fan speeds. Initial benchmarks comparisons.
