If they're really running a recent version of Ubuntu and apt, ROS will probably work.
The core parts of ROS don't require specific support from the kernel, so most of the core functionality like topics and services should work.
Any package that requires a driver (lasers, cameras, etc) will need to be tested on a case-by-case basis. Most of the hardware drivers in ROS are written and maintained by different groups, so each ROS driver is different and has different requirements of the kernel. It's impossible to make a blanket statement about whether all of them will work or not. In the end, the driver support will depend heavily on how well /dev and USB works in Ubuntu on Windows 10.
