Windows 10 makes it easy to access the taskbar section and browser tabs. Additionally, I can easily access and use applications. I find the task manager valuable, as I can quickly access it and turn off applications I don't want to use. Having a default Windows security feature makes it easy to engage.

Makes it easy to access the taskbar section and browser tabs
Pros and Cons
- "Windows 10 makes it easy to access the taskbar section and browser tabs. Additionally, I can easily access and use applications. I find the task manager valuable, as I can quickly access it and turn off applications I don't want to use. Having a default Windows security feature makes it easy to engage."
What is most valuable?
What needs improvement?
The solution could have AI-driven functionality and voice integration features.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup is fair and takes 30-45 minutes, depending on the PC involved.
What other advice do I have?
Every few days, a new Windows update is released. It contains errors. It's often sold out, so it's hard to get. It practically sells itself. It's the go-to for PCs, and it's stable. It's worth a couple of hundred dollars for users.
Windows 10 includes features that allow it to run with various types of products and envision their capacity, so be sure to save it.
Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.
Disclosure: My company does not have a business relationship with this vendor other than being a customer.

A robust operating system for the client side
Pros and Cons
- "Windows 10 Professional or Enterprise is a very robust operating system for the client side."
- "The solution's pricing could be a little cheaper."
What is our primary use case?
I use Windows 10 for my private purposes, even after buying Windows 11, because this is the usual path for using the operating system generated on the client side.
What is most valuable?
Windows 10 Professional or Enterprise is a very robust operating system for the client side.
What needs improvement?
The solution's pricing could be a little cheaper.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Windows 10 from the beginning, of course, when it appeared on the market.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I rate the stability of the latest version of the solution ten out of ten.
How was the initial setup?
The solution’s initial setup is very easy.
What about the implementation team?
Depending on how you use it, the installation can take 50 minutes in some cases. In an unusual case, the solution might be installed in half an hour.
If you're using older hardware, the deployment will be a much longer process. The process is really easy if you use hardware matching the driver requirements from the Windows 10 environment. You have to manually input the information about the PC's name and set up the region, settings, clock, etc. After that, you must install the driver.
What other advice do I have?
The solution provides a very high security framework that benefits our organization. I have been lucky to have the solution's compatibility with my client's hardware, such as laptops and notebooks. So, the deployment process is very easy. Windows 10 is a very straightforward, capable, and reliable operating system. However, it will be outdated in the future.
Overall, I rate the solution ten out of ten.

Office 365 support specialist at a renewables & environment company with 51-200 employees
Overall good functionality, stable, but performance could improve
Pros and Cons
- "I have found all the features to be valuable. I like the compatibility of Windows with other products, I can add applications. The general compatibility of Microsoft is good, I know that I can use all the Microsoft products."
- "I do not like the interface of Windows 10 very much and the performance could be enhanced. Sometimes everything is a little bit cumbersome. When I used the interface of Windows 7 it was much quicker than Windows 10, as far as finding the information. I preferred Windows 7 for this interoperability. It was easier to interact with the Windows 7, to use the control panel. With Windows 10 there are fewer settings in the control panel as well, but there's the different possibility to reach the same information, and sometimes it creates confusion."
What is our primary use case?
I am using Windows 10 on my personal and work computers. Everything application that I use has to go through Windows 10. I could not do anything without it.
What is most valuable?
I have found all the features to be valuable. I like the compatibility of Windows with other products, I can add applications. The general compatibility of Microsoft is good, I know that I can use all the Microsoft products.
What needs improvement?
I do not like the interface of Windows 10 very much and the performance could be enhanced. Sometimes everything is a little bit cumbersome. When I used the interface of Windows 7 it was much quicker than Windows 10, as far as finding the information. I preferred Windows 7 for this interoperability. It was easier to interact with the Windows 7, to use the control panel. With Windows 10 there are fewer settings in the control panel as well, but there's the different possibility to reach the same information, and sometimes it creates confusion.
Overall, it was easier to reach different programs in the previous version.
In an upcoming release of Windows 10, I would like to see less. There are too many elements or settings. I prefer the operating system to be very minimal because it's only the base to access all the software. It doesn't need to be cumbersome, it should contain what we need and nothing more. For example, the weather, or similar features, only take up memory.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Windows 10 for approximately six years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The solution is stable.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
I have found it is not scalable.
How are customer service and support?
I have contacted Microsoft support but not for Windows 10. I have spoken to them about all the Office 365 products. They're very quick and I really appreciate them, it's very nice to work with the Microsoft technician. I'm not a Microsoft person, I don't work for Microsoft, but nevertheless, it's a very nice team.
How was the initial setup?
The installation of Windows 10 is quite quick. Windows 10 is a large piece of software and needs time to get installed, but it's quite user-friendly. It takes time, it can't take five minutes to install an operating system, it's okay. It's user-friendly, the installation is quite easy, even for normal users. I'm an admin, but for normal users, I think it's easy as well.
What about the implementation team?
I did the installation of my home computer and at work, I did it through an image, or through an SCCM, which other products are offered by Microsoft.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
My company is on a corporate license for Windows 10 and my personal computer I bought the operating system already installed, I did not pay for it.
What other advice do I have?
A normal user I would advise them to follow the instruction when you install Windows 10 and use the search function because everything can be found in the search function. There's lots of information you can find in the browser, in a Google search. We talking about a very specific product. Windows 10 is an operating system, it's not real software, it's difficult to evaluate.
I rate Windows 10 seven out of ten.
