Good appearance, runs many application, but speed could improve
Pros and Cons
- "When comparing Windows 10 to Windows XP, Windows 10 is much better. The appearance is very good."

I am using Windows 10 to run applications that I can learn from, such as Tableau, Power Applications, and Power Automate.
What is most valuable?
When comparing Windows 10 to Windows XP, Windows 10 is much better. The appearance is very good.
What needs improvement?
The performance of Windows 10 is a bit slow because it takes a lot of time for loading. That is a concern because the same 4GB Ram laptop, which I used with Windows XP and other versions, has been faster than Windows 10.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Windows 10 for approximately two years.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
In my organization, we have more than 10,000 people using Windows 10.
How are customer service and support?
When I have issues with my personal computer there are options in the Windows itself, to report back to the organization. It has other support options, such as recovery. Since I bought the computer from Dell they are able to help me in some places but other places they cannot. Windows 10 does become slower in comparison to Windows XP.
With respect to my organization, most of the issues are taken care of by the IT department.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I was using a computer with Windows XP and I did not have a choice to switch to Windows 10. It is what came with the laptop I purchased. If you want to purchase a computer right now you will receive a computer with Windows 11 preinstalled.
How was the initial setup?
I've not installed Windows 10 because I received it preloaded in the system from Dell. However, I did install Windows XP, but I have not installed Windows 11 yet.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
Windows 10 came preinstalled on my laptop, I am not sure the price.
What other advice do I have?
I would recommend Windows 10 to others if their systems have more than 8GB RAM. If anyone is having 4GB or less, then Windows XP is much better. However, Windows XP is now obsolete, it's not in the market right now.
I rate Windows 10 a six out of ten because of the speed issues. It takes a lot of time to load, especially if it's on lower RAM, such as 4GB RAM, it's quite slow.
