Acer Aspire 5600U All-in-One Desktop and Windows 10

From bad experience and web research I have discovered that my Acer Aspire 5600U All-in-One desktop, which came with Windows 8.0 installed (upgradeable to 8.1) will not allow Windows 10 to be installed. I have gone through the experience of attempted Windows 10 installation three times, and had to go back to factory settings each time. Needless to say, this was very time consuming and irritating. It looks like I am stuck with Windows 8.1 for all eternity. Anyone with any thoughts on this subject?

    my Acer Aspire 5600U All-in-One desktop, which came with Windows 8.0 installed microsoft informed was Windows 10 compatible and installed. IT HAS BEEN A YEAR OF HELL!, Acer Aspire site shows the drivers provided for the 5600U and also notes driver "NOT COMPATIBLE WITH WINDOWS 10!", which driver remains on my system? "THE INCOMPATIBLE DRIVER SINCE NO ONE HAS CREATED ANY OTHER". Microsoft and windows 10 have wasted countless hours of my time since when they decide to update or cause the computer to become unstable, thereby forcing user to update, which of course requires system to be restarted. Problem, it takes never less than 3 days and more to get pc back up and running. Tried every test never anything wrong indicated. In addition I seriously doubt as many hardware failures as I have seen microsoft attempt to inform user of after install of 10.
