    Installs easily, is reliable, and is easy to use
    Pros and Cons
    • "It is easy to use."
    • "Windows 10 is very good; they build a lot on the stages, which has helped in making Windows 11 an improved version, and it is easy to use."
    • "The security should be increased."

    What is our primary use case?

    Windows 10 is an operating system that I am using on my laptop to run applications.

    What is most valuable?

    Windows 10 is very good.

    They build a lot on the stages, which has helped in making Windows 11 an improved version.

    It is easy to use.

    What needs improvement?

    The security should be increased. More people are using Windows 10, which makes it more vulnerable. With more people using it makes you prone to attacks. It has to be updated frequently, along with the market trends.

    Frequent updates can be frustrating.

    The technical support should be more feasible, and more viable. Their work strategy needs to be changed.

    For how long have I used the solution?

    I have been using Windows 10 for four years.

    What do I think about the stability of the solution?

    Windows 10 is stable, unlike Windows 7, the previous version.

    What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

    Everyone in the organization is using this solution. Some also have it installed on their personal laptops for personal use. We even have situations where it is installed on a Mac.

    How are customer service and support?

    It is difficult to approach them to get a solution.

    We don't have a dedicated technician who is connecting to us or to address any issues we are experiencing.

    You can try to call, and it just rings, or we connect to some local corner in the world to tell our story and what we need from them before we can get a solution.

    This is an issue that we have with Microsoft.

    Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

    I am using Windows 11.

    As a technical team, we use many solutions in several different environments. 
    For example, testing environments, and virtual environments.

    How was the initial setup?

    The installation is feasible. In terms of the installation, it is straightforward, they have improved the installation process quite a bit.

    It can take 15 to 20 minutes to deploy.

    We don't require anyone to maintain the solution, we push it through an SCCM. They get connected to the LAN network.

    What about the implementation team?

    I was able to complete the installation myself.

    What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

    We pay Microsoft a yearly license fee. Our payments are made through the portal.

    What other advice do I have?

    I would recommend this solution to others who are interested in using this solution.

    I would rate Windows 10 a nine out of ten.

    Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

    On-premises

    A good operating system that is stable and reliable
    Pros and Cons
    • "I've been very satisfied with this operating system."
    • "I want a more stable version of the Linux interface that you can use within Windows 10."

    What is our primary use case?

    The solution is primarily used for running persona applications on my laptop. We run several types of applications on it. 

    What is most valuable?

    I've been very satisfied with this operating system.

    It's totally stable and secure.

    What needs improvement?

    There are always some small things here and there that could be better, however, for the most part, I have been happy with its capabilities and cannot recall coming across missing features. 

    I want a more stable version of the Linux interface that you can use within Windows 10. Sometimes the connections are broken or it doesn't work after a while. When that happens, I have to restart my laptop and so on. It would be ideal if it was simply more stable so that these issues didn't occur.

    For how long have I used the solution?

    I've been using the solution for ten years. It's been a decade at this point. I've used it for a while. 

    What do I think about the stability of the solution?

    The solution is very stable. It's reliable. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. 

    What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

    We have 5,000 people who are using the product within my organization. 

    How are customer service and technical support?

    I've never been in touch with technical support and cannot speak to how helpful or responsive the support team from Microsoft is. 

    Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

    We likely previously used Windows 7. That was a really long time ago. I've worked with Windows 7 and I also have experience with the Linux version.

    How was the initial setup?

    I cannot speak to the initial implementation process or how easy or difficult it is to execute. I was not involved in the setup in any way.

    What other advice do I have?

    The solution is deployed on the laptop itself and it's not running in the cloud.

    I'd rate the solution at an eight out of ten. I've been pretty happy with its overall capabilities. 

    I would recommend the product to other users and organizations.
