Windows 10 and formatting with 32 bit

I have looked through the posts but was unable to find the answers.

I am looking to buy a ‘My Cloud Mirror 4TB’ and have a few niggling questions that I am hoping some kind person here can assist me with.

1/.  At the moment all the specs shown that it will work with Windows up to 8. My question is, will it work with Windows 10 when that becomes available?

2/.  I read somewhere that a 32 bit system cannot format drives over 2TB. This is a 4TB system but is it classified as 2x 2TB thus meaning there should be no problem?

3/. I am used to using Google Drive and Dropbox but am a wee bit apprehensive about setting up my own cloud and running it. I don’t really want to spend what is to me a lot of money just to find that I can’t get it to work. Can anyone allay my fears and possibly issue me with a few tips please? Being a pre beginner means I am grateful for any advice no matter how small.

Thank you for reading this and I will be grateful for any answers.

That has nothing to do with it.  NASes aren’t local storage, thus those limitations don’t apply.
