FSA 9spd Crank w/ Record 10spd

I have a few questions that I can never get a consistent answer on! Please help!

1) I have a 9spd FSA Team carbon crank (isis w/ Shimano hollowtech bb) on my Dream Plus. I just
upgraded to Record 10spd. Can I still use this crankset or do I need to put the Record crank
and bb on?

2) Will a Record 10spd crank work ok with 9spd? I'm assuming it will just be somewhat louder
than normal.

3) And finally - What are the concerns when running a Shimano 9sp cassette w/ campy record 9spd
shifters and derail?

Do not need a new crankset or rings.

Works fine.

Also works very well, if the shifting performance is poor it's generally not the cogset that's
the problem.

Nope, use the FSA crank w/o modification.

Not even louder-no difference at all. The rings are the same thickness 10s-9s, just the big ring is
offset a wee bit toward the small...but no issues of performance with a 9s chain.

Just use a shimano 9s chain-works fine-
