For me everything hinges around Server 2016 being released. I hate Server 2012 and my CM servers are on 2008. As soon as 2016 comes out I’ll do a side-by-side to CM current branch and then start deploying Windows 10.

If SCCM is currently installed on Server 2008r2 then you'd need to do a side-by-side migration to Server 2012r2 (or later once it is released and supported) and upgrade to SQL 2012sp1 or later as WSUS needs to be at version 4 to support Windows 10 servicing if you want to simply test-out the new and upcoming features of SCCM then you should out the Technical Preview 4 release (installation guide here<https://www.windows-noob.com/forums/topic/13285-how-can-i-install-system-center-configuration-manager-and-endpoint-protection-technical-preview-4/>) which you can then update to the current TP release which is 1601 using the new Updates and Servicing features (online guide here<https://www.windows-noob.com/forums/topic/13517-how-do-i-use-updates-and-servicing-in-online-mode-with-system-center-configuration-manager-current-branch/>, offline guide here<https://www.windows-noob.com/forums/topic/13506-how-can-i-use-updates-and-servicing-in-offline-mode-in-system-center-configuration-manager-current-branch/>). i hope that helps somewhat.
