I have a Windows Vista computer.
How can I check if all my hardware is supported by Windows 10?

What Microsoft has said so far about hardware requirement for Windows 10 Technical Preview, one could assume it will not change much if any for the final release.
System requirements:
Basically, if your PC can run Windows 8.1, you're good to go. If you're not sure, don't worry – Windows 10 will check your system to make sure it can install the preview.
Processor: 1 gigahertz (GHz) or faster
RAM: 1 gigabyte (GB) (32-bit) or 2 GB (64-bit)
Free hard disk space: 16 GB
Graphics card: Microsoft DirectX 9 graphics device with WDDM driver
A Microsoft account and Internet access
Also there is this statement about W10 Preview
'Drivers for basic functions like storage, networking, input, and display come with Windows. These drivers allow you to complete the Windows installation and connect to the Internet. You might be able to get more drivers from Windows Update.'
This is all that is known at this point in time.
