I know it is a bit unfair to suggest or expect that 2013 should support Windows 10. With that in mind I offer this as something to watch out for if you must use 2013 and Win10. I needed to work on a family that must stay in that version so I installed 2013 yesterday. I thought I was successfully past it but it keeps dragging me back in.
As soon as I got started working I noticed that the Title Bar of the UI is missing the Quick Access Toolbar (QAT) and the Help/Info Bar.
Then I noticed that hovering over where they should be caused tooltips to appear. They ARE there but just not visible. I was able to get the QAT below the ribbon by hovering and clicking carefully where that button should be. I don't really need the Info Bar that often so I should be okay for now, plus I know the buttons are there, just bashful.
Via a Twitter reply and @mark_labell_jr He suggests a Windows theme hack described HERE. It worked for me.

I have the same thing for the QAT in Revit 2015/2016 with Windows 10, but the Help bar still shows in those. I had to move the QAT bar under the ribbon to get it to show.

Try this windows theme hack to get an alternate color on the taskbar which seems to allow the tools there to show up in contrast.

I wonder if this works anymore?

I've seen this occur on a laptop with a "retina"display. Dpi was set to a higher level. Setting both back to lower levels solved the problem.
Speaking for myself, I'm not pushing the DPI. That's been a known issue for a few releases of Revit and higher quality graphics capabilities so I don't think it is unique to WIN 10 in this case either.
I currently have the RTM version of Windows 10 Pro installed along with Revit 2013, 2014, 2015, and 2016 and both the Quick Access and Help/Info bars are visible and functional for me.
Want me to check anything on my end as a comparison?
