Windows 10 Reviews

The solution is primarily used on all the local PCs in the company. It's also used for file sharing. Everything Windows runs on - the software and everything - runs on this.

The stability of the solution is quite good.

The performance, overall, has been excellent.

The product is user-friendly. Everyone finds it very easy to use for the most part.

The initial setup is quite straightforward.

The solution isn't overly scalable, from what I have witnessed. 

The security should be better on the solution.

Microsoft should work to make the product more flexible than it currently is.

The solution could be a bit expensive.

I've been dealing with the solution since it first came out. I can't recall the exact number of years. It's been a while.

The solution has been very stable so far. There are no bugs or glitches that I have seen. It doesn't crash or freeze at all. The performance is reliable. It's good.

I would not describe the solution as scalable.

We've used it since it came onto the market, however, the number of users is always changing. It's hard to describe the exact number of users.

I don't recall ever dealing directly with technical support. I can't speak to how helpful or responsive they are overall. I don't have direct contact to go off of.

I have some experience with Linux and have used Microsoft servers as well. In our organization, we have used the 2008 and 2016 versions of the server.

The initial setup is not difficult or overly complex. I found it to be rather straightforward. 

How long the deployment takes depends on if it's an upgrade from an older version or if it's upgraded from the hardware. It varies from one to two hours to one to two days. It depends on the hardware.

I handled the implementation completely by myself. For the installation, I did not use an integrator or consultant. It was taken care of in-house without outside assistance required.

We tend to pay for the license yearly and have 3-year agreements with Microsoft.

The solution could always be cheaper. If they lowered the price, it would be ideal for the customer base.

I mostly deal with items from an integrator's angle. I don't typically choose the solutions I deal with. That's decided largely by the client.

I typically deal with the latest version of the solution. I cannot speak to the exact version number.

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

I would rate the product at an eight out of ten.

We use Windows 10 just for the voice platform.

I like that it's stable and secure.

It could be more secure. We just want them to focus on security.

I have been using Windows 10 for years.

It's stable.

It's scalable. We have more than 100,000 people using this solution.

We used multiple servers, including Linux and Windows Server.

The initial setup is easy. It took me about 30 to 40 minutes to set up and deploy this solution. 

Sometimes we do it by ourselves or else we used to go to some technicians.

We pay for the license, and it's fine.

I would recommend Windows 10 to new users.

On a scale from one to ten, I would give Windows 10 a ten.

We use Windows 10 for business purposes such as providing email access.

I utilize the solution for very basic needs. I don't use many features, just those for topping up the operating system and Office product applications.

The solution could be faster and demonstrate better performance. It is a bit on the slow side.

The solution is stable in respect to the majority of its security features.

The solution is scalable and we plan to continue to utilize it and to increase its usage. 

I cannot comment on the technical support. 

I did not handle the installation.

I believe the licensing is on an annual subscription basis.

I recommend the solution to others who are contemplating its use.

I rate Windows 10 as an eight out of ten.

I have my own personal-owned license on my machines at home. I use it for personal usage as well as for work. I use it to run my software, and I also use it for gaming and managing my baseball card trades and stuff like that.

I am on the developer channel, so I am on one version above the release.

It works. It is stable, unlike other versions of Windows. It is easy to use and intuitive for the most part.

They could really improve or clarify user account types and stuff. I help people with their Microsoft Windows 10 installations and setups. A lot of times, I pre-configure devices for them, and it is a pain to switch the user so that it shows them as the owner when I've done the initial setup. I have found some workarounds for that, but user management on it outside of a domain is somewhat cumbersome. They probably expected that one person is going to be the management and owner of it, and they seem to have built it that way, but third parties like us, who help friends and family with their setups, can sometimes run into some headaches while trying to help people without having our data loaded over to the machine with the synchronization.

Microsoft has a tendency to try and put too much into what is supposed to be just an operating system. I would rather have choices and pick what I want to include. They sometimes cram too much in there.

I have been using Windows 10 since the first beta came out in 2015. It has been a couple of years.

It is stable. I didn't have any issues that were directly Windows-related. Usually, it had to do with other games and applications having or causing problems.

As long as you're on the 64-bit build, it is very easy to scale.

I have never called Windows tech support for Windows 10. However, I have dealt with the developer group, but that includes people like myself helping each other in the community. I do interact with their developer team on the bug releases and stuff. I fill out the questionnaires and stuff about bugs that I find. I've dealt with them, but that's not really tech support.

I have always used Windows. My previous Windows release was Windows 7. Before that, I had Windows XP. Before that, I had Windows 3.51. It has always been Windows.

Windows is easy to use and intuitive for the most part. I work with Apple devices, but I like being able to have control over my environment. I can have more control with Windows 10 than with others. To be able to use Unix operating system, you have to be an engineer.

It is easy. If you get it new on a machine, you're usually up and running in a few minutes.

I would advise others to go with the Professional version and not the Home version. I would rate Windows 10 a ten out of ten.

It is on my laptop, and it is given to me as an employee. My Windows did an update last night, so I am sure I have its latest version. I also have it on my personal computer.

I like the main window pane where you can sort your mostly used and different types of apps, such as OneDrive, Google Chrome, and Access. I can just open up the main window, and those apps are right there at my fingertips. I moved from Windows 7 to Windows 10, and it took me a little while to get used to Windows 10, but once I got used to it, I do like it.

It integrates with everything that I am using, and it gives me everything that I need as a user.

It takes a lot of hard drive space when you're using it. I also have Windows 10 on my personal computer, and it does take up an awful lot of hard drive space. This is probably something about which nothing can be done, and it is just a pet peeve of mine.

I have been using Windows 10 for three years.

I have not gone to tech support. I never had a problem.

The setup is easy. There are always patches that go out. I've been selling Office 365 to customers, and there are always patches. That's just the way Microsoft does things, but the one positive thing is that when things are recognized, patches do get done fairly fast, and then they're sent out. In my official case, they're sent out to my IT department. In my personal case, the patches are done automatically.

I would rate Windows 10 an eight out of ten.

We primarily use the solution for the client operating system. It is for end-users. We are administrators and it is a desktop client operating system.

The solution is useful for end-user computing.

The solution is very stable so far.

We've found it to be flexible.

The product is easy to use.

The new features it offers are very useful.

There have been a lot of improvements and enhancements to the product.

The installation is extremely straightforward. 

The security aspect of the solution could be improved. they should work to make sure that their security is built out and more robust in future releases. 

The interface itself could be more user-friendly.

We started using it about the time it was released. We've been using it for about two years or so now. 

The solution has been very, very stable. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. It's reliable in terms of performance.

We have about 500 people using the solution currently.

We do plan to continue to use the solution in the future. 

We've had some experience with technical support. They've been fine, in general. We have no complaints. We're satisfied with the level of support they provide to us.

Previous to this solution, it is my understanding that we used Windows 8.

The initial setup is not difficult or overly complex. It's very simple and quite straightforward. A company shouldn't have any issues with the implementation process.

The deployment is very fast and only takes about 15 minutes or so.

Since this product is for end-user computing, we have a separate team of four administrators that deal directly with the implementation and maintenance of the solution.

I was able to handle the implementation on my own. It didn't require assistance. We didn't hire any outside consultants or integrators for the setup.

We pay for our licensing on a yearly basis. I can't speak to the exact amount, however.

We are using the latest version of the solution. I don't know the exact version number.

In general, on a scale from one to ten, I'd rate this product at an eight. It's been reliable and we've been happy with its capabilities overall.

I would recommend the solution to other companies and organizations.

Windows 10 is the operating system that I use.

The most valuable feature is the set of multiple applications that are available.

Every application has a place in Windows and it is good that most people in most companies know exactly where to find them.

I use Windows PowerShell, which runs the DOS commands. It is a little bit complicated but it still runs.

The stability could be improved, as I've had issues where it's crash or frozen.

Some of the command-line utilities could be a little cleaner.

There could be more information available online for PowerShell. It has a lot, but there can never be enough of that.

I have been using Windows 10 for between two and three years.

The stability is something that should be improved.

Scalability-wise, it is good. Windows 10 can grow as big or be as small as you want it to be.

We are in a government office and we have a couple of thousand people who use it.

I have never dealt with Microsoft technical support.

We upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 10.

Several years ago, I worked with the old DOS system and I am still used to it. 

My advice for anybody who is using Windows 10 is to make sure that you continue to do the updates and keep your patches up to date.

I would rate this solution a seven out of ten.

My laptop is my work and life laptop. I'm a small business owner — my laptop is my lifeblood. More recently, with all this COVID stuff and remote learning, I had to repurpose a couple of my older laptops that deprecated out of my own personal use; I made them suitable for my kids to use for online education. That's what led me to upgrade them from Windows seven to Windows 10.

Everybody in my company uses Windows 10.

Our entire DevOps team works on Microsoft machines. I suppose there are hip little companies out there that use Apple products — that's ineffable to me. I think Windows has done a good job of addressing a lot of concerns around stability and computational inefficiency. It used to be the case that when you were doing more complex, high-intensity computing, you probably needed to be on Linux machines. I don't think that's as true as it used to be. I know smart people that use Apple, but it blows my mind.

My impression is that the security via windows defender is good enough that I no longer feel a need for another third-party security solution, which had always been the case in the past. I think that perception still holds true. I might be wrong about that, but prior to Windows 10, I always felt obliged to go with, Norton or McAfee as an additional anti-virus service. So, I began reading reviews and got comfortable with the idea that Windows Defender as a primary security system was good enough.

I don't like a lot of the features that are in it. I'm still somewhat archaic in that I like the form-factor of a traditional laptop: I don't want to touch my screen; I don't want it to behave like a tablet; I don't want it to bend in weird ways that I'm never actually going to use. There are a lot of features in Windows 10 that seem to be designed for it to be deployed on a Window's surface or something like that. I don't want that Cortana voice feature. I don't need to talk to my laptop. The phone application where you can integrate your smartphone with it so that you can directly view images that are on your phone, that feature sucks. Everything's tied-in via Bluetooth; it's kind of a pain in the ass because it hijacks your calls.

I have been using Windows 10 for roughly two and a half years.

Stability-wise, it's pretty good. I put it through its paces more than most people. Outlook doesn't integrate nearly well enough with Google Mail Servers. I think that's more than a Microsoft Office issue than windows. Still, when you host your mail on Google (I host with Google but I use Outlook as an email client), the integration is poor. Google or Outlook issue some new updates once every couple of months that make them play worse together for a week. It's kind of annoying. I think it's a conscious business decision though. I suspect foul play on both sides.

As I use Windows 10 for personal use, I can't comment on the scalability.

The only thing I've ever used Window's tech support for was to upgrade from Windows 7 to Windows 10, which you're able to do for free. Which is cool.

The initial setup is pretty straightforward — it's Windows. Microsoft is one of the largest, most valuable companies in the world despite not being ever seen as cool, newer, sexy.

My advice would be to go ahead and use Windows 10. Overall, on a scale from one to ten, I would give this solution a rating of eight.
