1. See if the maker has a Windows 10 driver on his site.
2. See what the Get Windows 10 app on your current PC with Windows 7 or 8.1 says about (in)compatibility (assuming you're planning an upgrade)
3. Ask the customer service of the maker.
4. Find a friend with a Windows 10 PC or laptop and see what it does when you connect your printer.

Even when I sent a printer that works here on 10 to a friend it didn't there. And on return it worked here. Had to wait till I visited to figure out what happened.

-> In the future try to supply the make and model so members can see if it should work.
