Windows 10 Reviews

Windows 10 can be used for running personal or business applications.

The most valuable feature of this solution is its ease of use. It is the most used operating system in the world.

The solution can improve by making it more private and allowing users to know what operations are going on in the background code. More transparency is needed. For example, there is a project called Purism which is a Linux operating system that comes in a form of a phone or a laptop. Their focus is transparency, if I wanted to know what exactly is happening on my device, I can always go to the project documentation and take a look for my peace of mind.

I have been using Windows 10 for approximately five years.

Everyone in my organization is using this solution.

I have never needed to open a ticket with the Microsoft technical team.

I have used Purism Linux.

The installation is simple and anyone could do it.

We have a team that does the implementation and maintenance of the solution.

The solution can be expensive for businesses to use Microsoft Windows 10.

I would not recommend Windows 10 personally, but because it is the most used operating system, most employees in an organization would adapt to it quickly. They are familiar with it. 

It is good to look at alternatives and evaluate. At the same time never underestimate the effect of rejection that end users can have if you change the technology.

I would advise others using Windows solutions to invest heavily in the security products, they are the most used operating system. That does not make it less secure than other operating systems but it makes it more targeted. When it is more targeted you will have more vulnerabilities and therefore it is really important to focus on the security aspects when it comes to Windows infrastructure.

I rate Windows 10 a seven out of ten.

We primarily use the solution for document processing and the database for using Excel. In my case, I use a lot of Excel and Microsoft Word. I tend to stick to Office applications and Microsoft applications only.

We are upgrading the physical RAM in order to use the open drive. 

We've been familiarizing ourselves with the features.

The initial setup was quite straightforward. 

The solution has been very stable. 

You can easily find answers to any questions you have online. 

I haven't extensively explored all of the features and aspects of the solution.

The time it takes to initially install the solution could be a bit less. Right now, it takes a few hours. We'd like it to be faster. 

I've been using the solution for three years at this point. It's been a while. 

The solution is now quite stable. At the beginning, we are facing some problems, however, nowadays, after all of these software patches and security patches, it's quite stabilized. There are no more issues. Its performance is very reliable. 

I consider myself an average user and therefore have never attempted to scale the product. I'm not sure how it would go. I have never tried. 

I've never reached out to technical support directly. Usually, if I run into issues, I Google answers and troubleshoot by myself. Therefore, I can't speak to how helpful or responsive they would be. 

We updated from a previous Windows version - either Windows 7 or 8. 

The initial setup was very straightforward and simple. It's not overly complex or difficult. 

The installation process took a few hours, as we were upgrading from an old Windows version to Windows 10. 

I have handled all aspects of the implementation myself. By myself, I have handled the upgrading, auto-upgrading, downloading, and installation by myself. I did not need the help of an integrator or consultant. 

The software and hardware tend to get bundled together in the final price. I can't speak to the exact pricing, as it's not an aspect of the product I deal with. 

We have the solution deployed to our desktops and laptops. 

I'm simply a regular user. I don't have a business relationship with Microsoft.

I would recommend the solution to other users and organizations. 

I'd rate the product at an eight out of ten. We've been happy with it so far, however, it's not a perfect product.

We use the solution solely on desktops, for running personal applications.

I do not use the solution out of any particular preference. It is simply that my company utilizes it and I must follow suit. 

Certain aspects of the solution are really complicated and should be simplified. I am referring to features we utilize daily, such as those used for finding things and Internet Explorer. 

MS Office or Internet Explorer has a big ribbon on top. While it may be useful, it occupies a lot of screen space. My laptop contains a very small screen of just 13 inches, which is full HD, meaning that the forms already appear very small. As the ribbon occupies some of this needed space, reducing it would free up that which is on the screen. 

We have been using Windows 10 for the last three years.

When it comes to technical support, I generally have to reach out to my local IT guys.

Before using the solution, we made use of Windows 7.

There was no installation necessary. 

We don't spend anything for the license. I prefer the full license, not the one for cloud. 

The solution is used on my personal laptop. I use Windows 10. I don't run tests on my own. I do everything on my office infrastructure. For the data and middleware I get support in my office. 

The solution is easy to use.  

Everyone in my organization uses Windows 10, although I cannot disclose the exact number of users.

I feel compelled to recommend the solution to others, as there are no available alternatives when it comes to desktops.

For desktop usage, I rate Windows 10 as an eight out of ten. 

We use Windows 10 for our operating system which has lots of applications that are integrated that we use. Windows 10 is our client's operating system and Windows Server is our server-providing system.

The solution is easy to use and user-friendly.

The solution could improve by adding more dashboards.

I have been using Windows 10 for approximately eight months.

The solution is stable.

I have found the solution to be scalable.

We have 150 systems using this solution.

We use Windows Server.

The installation is easy and took approximately 30 minutes.

I did the implementation of the solution.

The solution is not expensive and there is a license required.

This is a renowned operating system from Microsoft, it is the most widely used operating system in the world. Windows 10 is excellent.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate Windows 10 a ten out of ten.

I use Windows 10 to run applications.

The solution is easy to use compared to other solutions, such as Mac OS. I am very familiar with Windows 10 since I have been using Windows since I was very young. It is always evolving to meet make new standards. 

Windows 10 could improve by being more user-friendly and provide a screen mirroring feature for the ability to share the screen with mobile devices without having to purchase a third-party application. With Mac OS it is able to be done right away.

I have been using the solution for approximately two years.

I have found Windows 10 highly stable.

The solution is scalable.

I have previously used other Windows versions.

The solution was installed when I purchased the computer.

The license came with the computer when I purchased it.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate Windows 10 a nine out of ten.

I use it mainly for development and also for teaching and training.

The best thing is that all are using it and that there are some applications like Power BI that are only in Windows and not in any other environment.

It is easy to install and is stable as well.

We have a lot of different hardware that has to communicate, and sometimes, the Windows drivers get overloaded.

So, the performance could be better.

I've been using it for about two years.

During these past two years, Windows has crashed only once on my computer.

I use Ubuntu Linux on my own computer.

It was easy to install Windows 10. It did take quite long, about five hours, because a lot of data had to be downloaded, and several reboots were needed.

I installed it myself.

I have a corporate license.

Because it's very good, I would rate Windows 10 at nine on a scale from one to ten.

I'm using the oldest development environment for business informatics. So, for those not interested in gaming or in graphic design, especially for all business users, I strongly recommend Windows 10.

The solution runs on some of my laptops and I personally have it on my own devices. 

What I like about Windows 10 is that it's a very intelligent OS. The interface is great. It's stable. 

I love the interface. It's very smart. The customization capabilities and all the advantages of Windows 10 are great. 

You have a lot of third-party software for the Windows environment. 

I have to use it for work, however, it's also a good choice for me as well to use it in my private time. 

Every new version is always an improvement on the last.

The initial setup is very straightforward. 

On a MacBook, in macOS, whatever application you have opened or are using, whether it's Apple or third-party or part of the OS or not, it doesn't matter, at any point you can always zoom in on the screen by just simply pushing a button and rotating the mouse scroll wheel for example, at any time. It's very smooth and fast zooming capabilities. You can zoom in very a lot or zoom in limited, whatever you need, at any part of the screen. I love that feature.

However, in Windows 10, the magnifier is really bad in comparison to the macOS zooming feature. I don't exactly remember what Apple calls it, however, the Windows magnifier is really bad. I tried also some third-party zooming tools and software for Windows, which were also really bad. This is something I really miss in Windows. In Windows, the magnifier really isn't that great.

I've basically used the solution since it was released. 

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

I don't use technical support. It's my understanding that many private users don't. therefore, I can't really speak to how helpful or responsive they are. 

The initial setup is quite straightforward. A company shouldn't have any issues with the process. 

I work as a consultant for companies and it depends on the client. So sometimes I work in large environments, sometimes medium, sometimes small environments.

I'd recommend the solution to other users and companies. 

I'd rate the solution at a nine out of ten. I've been very happy with its capabilities.

I primarily use the solution for connecting to my remote machine, to the VPN, to my work network. That's the main purpose. I also use it for applications such as Microsoft Word or for accessing YouTube and items of that nature. 

The UI of the solution has not changed drastically over the years, and therefore, it's easy to get used to the solution if you've used earlier versions of Windows. It's user-friendly in that sense. 

Online technical support is helpful. There's a lot of documentation.

I notice a lot of latency in Windows 10. Sometimes it slows down things. If I use a virtualized environment and if I run Windows 10, it's definitely slow, even on my personal computer, if it is not SSD. The performance could be much better.

Built into the solution is Windows Defender, which is in all the recent versions of the Windows operating system, however, we still end up buying an extra antivirus product in the market to ensure we are secure. Windows Defender should be enhanced and compete with the market with other antivirus products so that it comes as part of the operating system and actually offers very good protection.

Native apps such as, for example, Windows Notepad, which is a basic feature provided by Windows over the last 24 years, have had no enhancement at all. If you try to play around with some data or put it in a Notepad note, it still is quite difficult to use. You need to pay for Notepad++ or some TextPad, or some other application tool to get some actual usability.

I've been using the solution for a couple of years at this point. It's been a while. 

The performance needs improvement. It can be a bit slow. It takes time to render things. In comparison, Mac renders items very quickly.

I've used online tech support in the past. It depends on the case. In a few cases, it is informative and in a few cases, it is not. What I notice is that if I am using Windows, from Windows 95 onwards, if I recollect it correctly. As an end-user, there isn't too much of a drastic change in how it works, and as I've used it for 24 years or so, I have every good understanding of the product. 

I started using Windows since Windows 95. Before that, I likely used DOS. 

I was not a part of the installation process. I got the hardware with the Windows 10 already installed on it. Therefore, I can't speak to the process or how long it takes to deploy.

My understanding is that the license was paid for upfront with the laptop. I can't speak to the exact cost as I just have it on my laptop, and it came already installed and ready to go.

I did not evaluate other options before choosing this product.

I'm a customer and an end-user.

I'd rate the solution at a seven out of ten. It's an okay product, however, there are areas for improvement, specifically if you look at the performance. 

That said, I would recommend the solution to other users.
