The migration to Windows 10 should work fine for you - but please bare in mind what others have already said about Pro Tools struggling with your set-up.
I recommend, whenever possible, printing your Track/bouncing to Audio - then making any Instrument Track inactive/removing any Instruments or FX used.
This method would definitely let your computer "cope" better.
Windows 7 to 10 migration (with all files intact – including my Axiom Pro 49, whose Driver is not supported in Windows 10) worked flawlessly for me - but I respect the traditional advice:
Backup – or better still, clone your drive before upgrading.
You can still upgrade Win 7 Pro to Win 10 Pro for free, without losing your files, instead of having to wipe out your device clean, with Microsoft’s
