It has a very good debian based linux OS which is optimised well for the hardware and gets the latest updates - if it doesn't have drivers for the additional hardware, generally there is somebody in the user community who's built them (if it's something reasonably standard). In that respect new hardware is likely to be supported in the standard raspbian OS far sooner than it will be by W10. W10 doesn't really bring anything new in that respect, the only obvious reason to go that route is in order to have support for Windows software - I certainly wouldn't be using Windows for a relatively simple quick task!
