Windows 10 Reviews

I am mostly working with Windows 10. I am not working with Linux operating systems such as Ubuntu or Oracle; I primarily use Windows 10 operating systems.I work with Windows 10 only, but I also work with many other Microsoft solutions as well.I have been working with Windows 10 for almost 4-5 years, as I've been on Windows as long as my organization updates the operating systems.I use Windows 10 for my day-to-day office work.I will be honest; Windows 10 as an operating system is something I'm used to, and I've never worked on any other operating system apart from Windows 10, except Linux for a very small period of time. I recommend Windows 10 for all company sizes because it is used across the board, and I don't foresee it being a challenge. Windows 10 is the market leader, while Linux finds its use cases in very specialized roles.

Clients prefer LeanIX capabilities, especially around diagramming, because they are super easy. LeanIX is still preferred, but Ardoq is gaining traction.I find Copilot to be a very good and wonderful product. I use Copilot to capture meeting notes and get summaries and bullet points, and it is a wonderful tool.

I would improve Windows 10 by having fewer updates and addressing the warnings for restarting laptops when updates are installed automatically at the backend while I'm working. They can probably install updates during nighttime when I'm not working, as Apple does a fantastic job of it.Microsoft can improve their Teams product because everybody uses Teams, and it's very clunky and unfriendly in terms of scrolling back, downloading files, and moving back and forth within the different teams.Improvement is needed in boot time since once it gets dated and more updates come into play, booting time increases, which can be a pain from an end user's perspective.My final rating for Windows 10 is probably nine, as I've given it an eight, but the boot time issue and Teams not being great is a concern for me.I have two points for improvement regarding boot time and Teams.

I have been working with Windows 10 for almost 4-5 years.

In general, the initial setup for Windows 10 has been good; no worries or issues there, it takes its own sweet time, and that's okay.

I would rate the stability of the product an eight.I have never used Microsoft technical support; I've never used it at all.

For scalability, I would rate it a nine or ten because performance-wise, Windows 10 has never given me those issues; however, I don't do heavy work with the operating system.

I don't consider myself an expert on Windows 10; I'm just an end user for the operating system based on my experience.I'm not the right person to ask about Windows 10 security; my friends who are into security and identity management tell me that Windows security is not that good, and I honestly don't know about it.I would recommend Windows 10 to other users without hesitation.My overall rating for Windows 10 is 9 out of 10.

I am working with Aras PLM.

We are using Aras PLM, Windows 10 and Jira.

Teams has very good features.

We are using soft phones.

We are using Aras PLM, Windows 10 and Jira.

Teams has very good features.

It is more comfortable and it is widely used everywhere in India. Almost 80-90% of people are using Windows 10.

Microsoft Firewall is activated, but no other edge tools.

There is an issue with using Outlook, as you have to acquire a license. The basic version offered by Windows 10 does not allow direct preview of emails, requiring downloads instead. If they could allow email preview in the free version without downloading, it would be beneficial.

I have been working with this solution for the last five months.

The system is very fast and quick.

I have never needed customer service support.

Neutral

I have not used any previous solutions.

I have researched Oracle Agile PLM and Aras Innovator on my website, but feedback is not yet available for these solutions. I was wondering about other tools, particularly in the area of testing or test management.

PLM is the main focus.

Aras PLM is a US-based company that can be found through searching.

The company name is spelled A R A S.

I rate this solution 9 out of 10.

I use Windows 10 as our primary operating system on our workstations. I perform my day-to-day activities using Microsoft Notes, PowerPoint, and Word, which are all part of Windows 10 environment.

Windows 10 is very smooth, and I experience no significant issues. The applications open up quickly, and transitions between windows are seamless. PowerPoint, Word, and Notes are essential tools for my day-to-day work.

The only issue I have encountered is with Microsoft Teams. It is comparatively slower than other apps and does not open as quickly. The transitions within Teams are not smooth, and call quality in meetings is not great. Due to this, we often use Zoom for meetings.

I have been using Windows 10 for around three years.

The stability of Windows 10 is excellent, with all applications working very smoothly.

I find Windows 10 to be scalable.

The customer service and support from Microsoft are quite responsive and generally good. I would rate it as 9 to 10.

Positive

Pricing and licensing are handled at the enterprise level, and bulk licenses are taken from Microsoft. I am not involved in these activities.

Overall, my experience with Windows 10 is very good, except for Teams. Therefore, I rate it a nine out of ten.

In my case, I would mostly say it's because of security reasons. At least for the typical use cases that I generally rely on Windows for, there didn't seem to be a noticeable performance difference for me. There's, of course, the overall more polished and streamlined UI, that sort of thing. However, that's more of a minor consideration for me. Mostly, it's about staying up to date with security patches, etcetera.

I understand that Windows 11 supports quite a bit of additional features for people who are, for example, into high-end gaming and the features that support that kind of utility. 

It's not personally much of a thing for me, however, I've heard about differences between the two operating system versions. To the best of my knowledge, I think Windows 11 brings some AI features for Microsoft Copilot, which probably weren't as integrated into the previous version. 

There are the occasional bugs and issues that pop up, yet none are significant enough for me to consider a major update. Overall, it's a smooth experience.

At some point, I did use it. That is true.

There are the occasional bugs and issues that pop up, however, none are significant enough for me to consider a major upgrade at that point or such.

I haven't worked on other tools. Usually, I work with Microsoft PowerPoint or Microsoft Excel.

I would say the setup goes into hours. Somewhere between two to two and a half hours is a good time for the entire installation, having the OS up and installing some basic drivers. That's a safe bet.

In my case, when I purchased my laptop, it basically had Windows 11 preinstalled as well as one of the latest editions of Microsoft Goop, either 2016 or 2020. So everything came bundled in a single package, and I didn't have to buy it separately.

Windows 11 is most likely the best choice. However, the entire operating system is a bit much. The Microsoft tools I mentioned are basically running on that OS. Not any significant changes, but in my older desktop, the hardware did not support a migration to Windows 11, which is why I had to move to newer hardware. 

The overall product rating is eight out of ten.

The deployment is seamless and I am familiar with it. The configuration management tools, such as SACM, are effective. Deployment is not particularly difficult for both Windows 10 and 11. The upgrade process has been smooth, and performance has significantly increased, especially in laptops. Even for older laptops, the performance has improved by at least 25%.

I do not have notes for improvement.

I have been using Windows 11 for the past two years. 

With newer applications and endpoint agents installed on Windows 10, it was somewhat challenging, however, it was not an issue with Windows itself. The challenges were related to third-party agents and their supportability. Not all agents were easy to install on top of Windows, and we have more than 40 agents.

We are facing some challenges with Windows 11 where a pop-up appears when we enter the password. It asks if we want to change it or continue with the same, which is annoying. We have informed Microsoft, but the issue is still there, and it has been more than three to four months.

Neutral

Since we procure enterprise licenses with support, it does not make much difference when it comes to support.

I would rate Windows 10 eight out of ten.

It's generally used for managing the laptop. Its UI is very easily accessible, so I can manage all the things easily across many platforms. 

Secondly, Microsoft provides support for a lot of things. So it's generally easy for you to access anything on Windows as compared to Linux.

I don't exactly remember if this level of encryption was included in which operating system of Windows, but that's a great feature that you can encrypt the whole disk. So BIOS level password is another great security feature that protects the laptop with a BIOS password when you try to log in. So I think that these two features are really good: file-level encryption and then BIOS-level encryption.

The main benefit of Windows operating system is that it's really easy to use. So, when it's easy to use, you can definitely teach anyone easily. It's easy to tell anyone things who is not linked to the operating system.

It's been only one month since I have switched to Windows 11, and I haven't been using it very much as compared to Windows 10. However, one main feature that I would like to highlight is the amendment of CMD in Windows 11. You can now access many things from the command line and install a lot of features from there as well. 

Secondly, many new updates are being installed, which allows you to access things easily.

I have used voice recognition as well. That's a great feature. And one more thing, the integration of Copilot, that's a really amazing thing.

Windows 11 has Copilot built into the Windows operating system by default.

There is room for improvement in the troubleshooting feature, which they have integrated into Windows; I think they should make it easier and more efficient to troubleshoot any issues. 

Even when you run a troubleshooter, it is not able to identify the real problem. So, I need to Google that problem and then find a solution on YouTube. Instead, we should be able to just write that on the community platform, and we are able to help. Troubleshooting can easily identify the real cause of the problem. I think that was not present in Windows 10.

I have been using it for a very long time. It's almost since it was launched. So, from the release.

Windows 11 support is really good compared to Windows 10. But when I was using Windows 10, their support was a bit poor. They were not completely poor—their community is working a lot—but their support was a bit poor compared to Windows 11.

Neutral

Windows 10 is easy to use, but as compared to the other operating system, it is not free. Linux is open source, and Linux is completely free.

The main difference between Windows 7, 10, and 11 is that Windows 11 has CMD installed. So you can easily access things from the command line as well. You can install many things from the command line as well. And now the GUI is relatively easier as compared to Windows 10. 

Secondly, the regular updates which Windows 10 and 11 give you. So now I don't know that Windows 10 is being supported by Microsoft because now I'm using Windows 11. But the main thing is that your updates are getting installed easily and automatically. So there is no worry about your operating system being hacked by anyone. They are automatically patching all the vulnerabilities in the system.

Even if I compare Windows 10 and Windows 11, it is really easy to configure and maintain.

Overall, I would rate it a seven out of ten. 

I use Windows 10 for regular office activities.

The user interface is something I'm used to and familiar with.

Regarding features, I am not sure what the most helpful or useful aspects of Windows 10 are, or what makes it particularly special.

Performance and slowness are areas that could be improved in Windows 10. Sometimes the system experiences slowdowns.

The only issue I face and can remember is related to performance.

I have been using Windows 10 for 10 years.

The initial setup was not difficult for me as I only needed to install it.

However, it takes a couple of hours to complete the full installation.

I have not contacted Microsoft support and cannot think of any relevant experiences.

Neutral

I have not had the opportunity to work with other operating systems such as Linux.

I am not fully involved in technical work, and I may not be the most qualified person to provide feedback.

Regarding licensing, I am using Windows 10 through my office and am not familiar with the details.

I am not sure about virtual desktop functionality.

The system is not integrated with other tools.

I make use of the Edge browser and Chrome.

Regular updates work fine.

On a scale of 1-10, I rate Windows 10 a 9.

We have embedded our tool in Windows 10, so we do R&D through that for security integration with BitLocker.

There is no difficulty in integrating our tool with Windows 10.

Windows Teams has been upgraded recently, and the calendar has issues in it. The Teams calendar is experiencing problems, and that is the only issue I personally have.

We have been working with Windows 10 for the past one year.

It is quite easy to set up Windows 10, as our tech team looks after this, and since we are an OEM, we have many tech specialists. The deployment and running of tools is not an issue.

I have not faced any issues regarding stability or performance; any issues we have are from our end.

The support from Microsoft is lukewarm.

Neutral

It is quite easy to set up Windows 10, as our tech team looks after this, and since we are an OEM, we have many tech specialists. The deployment and running of tools is not an issue.

Pricing is an issue, as we have been looking for an AWS service that is cheaper. I have been looking at some other tools, and that will happen in the next month since we have our licenses for this month.

We use Gmail and Outlook a lot, and other than that, we use Drive and nothing else.

We do not work with Cortana voice commands.

You just have to ask for permission. I do not handle all this.

Outlook works for us, and we mainly use Outlook and Google, and it is working well for us.

It is the time thing itself, because we have time-intensive activities, so time zone differences affect us. This is me just trying to frame what my tech team has told me.

On a scale of one to ten, I would rate Windows 10 an eight.

I work in a BPO call center, where we only use third-party client tools to make calls. The operating system is just the best. We have nothing much more to do with the operating system, as all the work is done in the tool only.

The solution's most valuable feature is the Snip and Sketch tool in Windows 10, which is a screenshot product.

Sometimes, the tool gives a blue screen without any reason, and then I have to restart the system. It is an area where improvements are required. If the system is running or when it is getting started a blue screen appears in between. It is not a regular issue.

Connecting to customer care takes too long, making it an area where improvements are required.

I have been using Windows 10 for three or four years.

My company contacted the solution's technical support, who claimed that the blue screen appeared because some hardware failure issue might be causing the problem. I rate the technical support a seven out of ten.

Neutral

The product's configuration and deployment phases are easy.

The time required to deploy the solution depends on the system hardware configuration and it would take a maximum of 20 minutes to complete.

The tool is used for some basic requirements, so I don't know how we can say that Windows 10 has helped to save money. It is the basic requirement that any tool offers to its users. If we use some extra firewall or antivirus tools, then we can give the rating, but currently, Windows 10 is used for basic needs.

The tool is cheaply priced. It is not very cheap, but one can manage its costs easily.

I use Microsoft Defender in Windows 10. When it comes to the security part of Windows 10, sometimes it fails to update. In our company, we are using another antivirus tool that offers total security. On top of Windows 10, I have a third-party antivirus tool.

One time, I tried using Windows 11, but I was not satisfied with it because it was very heavy for my system, and my system slowed down. Performance in Windows 10 is better than Windows 11.

I have not integrated the tool with other products.

There are no AI integration projects with the tool that my company handles.

I am satisfied with the tool. After Windows 7, Windows 8 was very bad. When Windows 10 was launched, it was very good and comparable to Windows 7. The upgraded features in Windows 10 are very good.

I recommend the tool to others.

I rate the tool a nine out of ten.

Windows 10 is mostly used in our production system. We are a TV station with some software depending on an operating system. This software won't be able to start or manage in other operating systems. We were forced to use Windows 10. Since we updated that software, we switched to Windows 11.

Journalists and headquarters are using Windows 11. Some PCs in the international department use Windows 10 because some scripts and certificates still don't work as they should on Windows 11. Little by little, day by day, we are updating our software and switching to Windows 11.

I like the solution's control panel, system settings, and backup.

Windows 10 has a lot of Microsoft Widgets and preinstalled software we never use.

I have been using the solution for more than five years.

Windows 10 is a very stable solution.

I rate the solution’s stability a nine out of ten.

Around 20 users are using Windows 10 in our organization.

I rate the solution’s scalability an eight out of ten.

I also work with Windows 11. The hardware and operating system is easier in Windows 10. It is more fluid and easier to work with Windows 10 than on Windows 11.

The solution’s initial setup is easy. Installing the operating system and setting up everything takes around one hour.

On a scale from one to ten, where one is difficult and ten is easy, I rate the solution’s initial setup an eight out of ten.

The solution is very efficient and provides value for money.

The solution’s pricing is reasonable.

I am satisfied with the updates of Windows 10. I would advise users to choose Windows 11 because updates and support to Windows 10 will end soon.

Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.
