Doubt they'll come out with a Win 10 update for a H55 mobo. They might but wouldn't count on it, sorry.

I'm running 2x lga1155 builds, both using latest (yeah 2013) drivers and no issues with win10. Should be able to use the win7 x64 drivers as win10 supports legacy drivers including stuff like directX 9. There's no overwrite, so any additional files are used as needed.
If you could say what the windows critical error reports, maybe could be more help.

According to Microsoft, it may not exactly be your motherboard drivers at all. It's entirely possible it's a 3rd party app or Antivirus that you've not yet updated to win10 compatability. When I upgraded from 7Pro to 10Pro, windows actually deleted 4 of my programs totally because of version incompatibility. That didn't include my anti-virus, which I had to re-download since it wouldn't work on 10.
10 should work just fine with any legacy win7 drivers, many of the actual system drivers are either generic or identical in both versions. Both are NTSC, so the code is the same. 3rd party apps can and will be different, as they have use for other drivers over and above just the working system drivers, and can run into version number issues, lack of legacy drivers even the time/date stamps can be an issue.
I'd look into redoing any of the 3rd party apps that have anything to do during the actual running pc. Anything that will run constantly, checks periodically, works in the background etc.

A 3rd party app is anything you have added, such as any Antivirus that's not Inherent in Windows, real temp, CCleaner, Ms office, Adobe reader, Java updates, nvidia or AMD software, your specific printer software, router software, Asus suite, Norton, flash player, iTunes, logitech gaming software, razer mouse/keyboard drivers, Corsair Link.
Pretty much anything you've added or carried over from the prior OS that starts/runs automatically when windows starts, or something you personally are running prior to running a game. There have even been issues with Edge software, Bluetooth drivers, stuff in Windows 10 that applies to laptops or tablets and has no bearing on a pc like searching for wifi hotspots, switching between data/wifi etc.

It's lga1155. Any bios version is going to be quite old. My last one, the latest for my msi motherboard, is from Oct 2013. My last Asus is Dec 2013.
But yes, I'd get the last version available, it'll have the most comprehensive bug fixes, QVL, driver updates etc.
Also, look through the list of other driver's, for things like the Realtek HD audio, LAN, Renesas Sata drivers, USB controller, Asus Suite and update those as well.

True, I be knowing this, but the bios were basically the same coding, same era, same drivers, same pci-e lanes etc. Windows made no distinction. 1366 and later 2011 was considerably different. The latest bios and mobo drivers for his board should work the same for win7 as lga1155. I did have to use a Vista driver for my ancient printer since there weren't any 7/8 drivers released.
I believe the problem op is having is that he has a 7/8 driver somewhere for something, but the 10 generic driver is trying to override and crashing due to incompatibility. This happened to me, with Norton Antivirus (free with Comcast) and a simple reinstall took care of it.

Approach maybe, but a 2 year difference between 1156 and the SB in 1155 were far different and at the time 1156 was oriented to XP and Vista where 1155 was Win 7. DRAM changed also from them using low density memory chips to jumping to the high density chips for 1155

Huh, didn't know about the ram changes, but knowing you, figures you would lol.
It's the approach I'm talking about. Vista and 7 were symbiotic drivers. You could run any legacy component on 7 using a Vista driver. 7 just didn't have the drivers native. 10 isn't any different in that respect. You can get old games to run perfectly fine if you dl the directX end-user run times, which includes the dx9 drivers. Any game that only supports upto 9c will run, it'll just need the extra drivers. Without them, 10 tries to fill in the gap with dx10-12 drivers, which crash the game. I'm pretty sure this is op's issue. One or more of his apps or even the mobo drivers is missing. With 8.1 installed, windows was filling in the gap with its own generic driver, which was supported by the hardware. With 10, there is no legacy support for any older drivers, so not having a particular driver for the Renesas Sata controller (for example), win 10 is filling the missing driver with its own generic version, which is incompatible with the 1156 hardware, which as you say, will only support XP or Vista (7)
A full dl of last bios, mobo software for all the hardware available like Sata, USB controllers etc stands a good chance of remedying this as the drivers now won't be missing, they'll just add to the driver files library.
Hope that makes some sense, it does in my head, but I might not be translating to text very well.
