Peter I bit the bullet a while ago and run P9 sp3 with Windows 10.

In general it runs quite well with these issues so far.

1. The Paradox Help Files issue and if you reinstall Win 10 for any 
reason you will need to restore the Help Files Version from Dos. That 
includes letting Windows do a self check.
2. I have not checked it again recently but P9 will not allow you to 
interactively view tables using ODBC. Code works and V11 which I also 
own works. I just prefer P9 than the later file interface and so on.
3. There will be some cases where right clicking on a file and copying 
and so on will crash P9. Code works and using F10 --> Tools -> Utilities 
-> Copy works just fine. The work around for this is to run Paradox 
Under XP compatability mode but that creates some other issues.
4. I found an issue but cant remember what it was that means that I have 
to run Paradox as Administrator.

Overall and I have been running P9 sp3 under windows 10 for quite a 
while it has generally been good.

Hope this helps.

Robert
