Yes, the driver works on Windows-10.  If you have a non-standard COM 
port (e.g. an add-in board rather than a port on the motherboard), the 
"loopback" driver works almost as well and doesn't require kernel mode 
and a reboot to pick up a modified serial.sys.  On a very heavily loaded 
system you'll notice the poorer performance of the user-mode loopback DLL.

You can get an idea of the performance here - PCs Lund and Kiruna are 
"loopback":
