Solution: This issue was totally unrelated to Xen, it is a Windows Update 
issue. I needed to manually download and install update KB2937636 
(https://www.microsoft.com/de-DE/download/details.aspx?id=43434).
 
> Further observations from Windows 10 device manager on the domU:
> - There is one device without a driver (yellow triangle), the device is called
> XSC000 XENVIF 0
> - The system devices XenServer PV Interface, XenServer PV Bus (twice), and
> XenServer PV Network Class seem to be installed correctly
> - The NIC installed is shown as Realtek RTL8139C+ Fast Ethernet NIC

Solution: It turned out that I had to manually install the drivers for the 
unknown devices, (in device manager, select to install driver from disk, then 
select one of the pv drivers). In this way, I got both Windows Server 2012 and 
Windows 10 working. I had to use trial and error to find the correct setup, but 
most stuff seems to work fine. The network speed is more than sufficient. I 
didn't even need to disable checksum offloading.

The PCI passthrough device seems to get lest in the domU, but that seems to be 
a different matter (IRQ conflict?) which I will try to follow up in the next 
steps.

Thanks everybody,

Paul
