In general it should work. XE5 does not support Windows 10 per monitor DPI. Other than that how can we know whether your application works fine? - Dalija Prasnikar
@Sami 64bit executables are not necessary - Dalija Prasnikar
Your applications will run on Windows XP and newer. - smooty86
Whether or not your program works on a particular OS depends on what's in your program. Only you know that. We cannot help you there. - David Heffernan

Yes, you can install XE5 on Windows 10, and the executables that it produces are compatible with Windows 10.

Embarcadero have been producing a lot of marketing that implies that you need XE8 to do Windows 10 development. Truth be told, you can use any version of Delphi beyond Delphi 1. Of course the newer versions make life easier, and clearly you need XE2 or later to target 64 bit executables.
