Windows 10 Reviews

My primary use case of Windows is to run VMware. We have migrated about 47,000 machines in the environment, all of which are using Windows 10. 

In Microsoft, in general, it's easy to configure the AD Group Policy and the exchange server. Previously, I was working with on-prem, and the PowerShell command is flawless. In our organization, Publisher and AD Group Policy have been beneficial. Also, if you want to switch over to using VMware at the same time, you can switch it. 

One of the most valuable features is the ease of multitasking. It's easy to switch over different applications and multitasking is very free and flawless. Another useful feature is the ability to recover any data from a crash. Multiple benchmarking applications are supported by Windows, which isn't the case with Linux. So in case you need an application, you can Google it, find it, and easily install it. The user experience is also good. If you have the SSD installed in the laptop or machine, it will start like a boom. Windows is always ahead. 

Windows 10 could be improved by providing a data recovery application default. This is the most critical thing I have ever figured out in my career. If you accidentally deleted the data from the machine—the local machine—there is no way to get it back unless you install a third-party application. When your machine is connected to an IP domain, sometimes you won't be able to install a third-party application because it becomes a compliance issue, so you can get in trouble. Windows 10 should provide a data recovery solution.

For additional features, I would like Windows to come with a powerful video editor. If I am developing a presentation or something, I have to find it myself somewhere. If you want to put in GI for any kind of video and do a presentation, it's pretty difficult to open a video, edit it, or do anything. If you have a video, you can simply add it, right? But there's no Microsoft in-house product for that—we have to use Adobe Photoshop or something. There are just some little, very small features that, if Microsoft added, would make life easier. 

I have been working with Windows 10 since I started my career. This is the default machine in India—the first OS is Windows, then Linux, and then Unix. 

Windows 10 is stable. Unless there are any hardware issues or any bugs in an update, Windows performs perfectly. Any patches and updates are directly handled by the SCCM team, and they test it before deploying it. If there are any bugs or if anything is compromised, they will fix it. They won't upload it to the server unless and until it's 110% perfect. 

Windows 10 is easy to scale. We have 47,000 to 48,000 users working on Windows 10, and we have an onboarding team to help them understand how things work, what the policies are, and what the dos and don'ts are. 

Three or four years ago, I contacted Microsoft support. I had a problem with OneDrive, which is a product of Microsoft, so they fixed it. They took six to seven days to get my OneDrive completely back. The experience was wonderful and my problem was resolved. 

We previously worked with Windows 7—the most stable version of the millennium, we called it. It's flawless. That's the word for Windows 7: flawless. Once Windows 10 appeared in the market, it was a little buggy with application updates and packaging. Now, they have stabilized things. 

Windows 7's boot time was much longer than Windows 10, so the UI experience was not too good. You can't install Windows 7 on the touch laptop because it won't give you the 110% exact feel of the touch panel. If you're using a Yoga kind of product—where you have the laptop and you can detach the screen, which then becomes your tablet—you can't use Windows 7. Windows 10 has features for tablet mode. 

The process is really, really straightforward. If you have a bootable hard drive, it might take more than 15 to 18 minutes. If someone is deploying it from the local site—not from the server—it's a fairly smooth and flawless process. Most of the instructions are on-screen and it will prompt you to do everything. It's easy to understand because the UI feature is really awesome and built smoothly. A newbie can do it easily. Nothing is in the backend or encrypted within the commands. It's purely simple and easy to deploy locally. 

I have 17 people in the SCCM team who developed the OS as per the organization policies and what we call a golden image. In a project, if a client wants a Cisco AnyConnect VPN, that has to be implanted into the same OS. So they have their labs and they develop it with their security, firewalls, everything. Everything is synchronized from there in the labs, and then it is deployed. 

We implemented through an in-house team. 

Windows 10 has multiple versions—Home, Home Premium, and Enterprise—so the pricing will be different for each version. The pricing is okay and if they're getting sold out, that means people are buying it. I must say, it's a monopoly, but I really like the way Microsoft fits into the monopoly. 

I rate Windows 10 an eight and a half out of ten, just because I have some requirements for improvement, such as the data recovery and video editing screen. 

Windows 10 is easy on the eyes because it has a dark mode feature. We work 16, 17, 18 hours on our laptop—I call it a second wife, because it is sometimes. We have 24 hours in a day, but we spend hours of it on the machine. You should use dark mode and lower the brightness to your liking, and continue your work. You will feel better. 

We use the solution as an operating system. 

Windows versions before 2016 had a lot of stability problems. When cybersecurity teams tested these devices or operating systems, we found many vulnerabilities to exploit. That's why if I could make solutions for a company, I'd migrate many things to other operating systems like Linux, Cisco, or other alternatives. Most of our company now opts for Windows because 99 percent of users can use it. But I prefer to use Linux for support, engineering, or design teams - the technical teams.

The tool needs to offer more information on hard drives. 

I have been working with the product for four to five years. 

I haven't contacted technical support yet. 

I recommend Windows 10 for beginners. But when an engineer or technician grows higher, I recommend migrating to Linux. It's very useful and very stable. As for rating Windows 10 on a scale of one to ten, I would rate it a seven.

The solution is used as the main operating system for end-user clients.

The solution's most valuable features are virtual desktops and continuous updates. The Microsoft Edge browser is also okay, but I prefer other browsers over it. The solution's user portal is better.

There are some risks involved in integrating third-party solutions with Windows 10. The solution's identity and access management could be better. There are some compliance blind spots regarding security threats in Windows 10.

I have been using the solution for three to four years.

I also use Windows 11. You already have encryption on Windows 11, but you need something like BitLocker for encryption on Windows 10.

It's very important to have a good 360-degree security solution to cover the risks associated with integrating third-party solutions. It's important to have a good endpoint solution and a good firewall. It's also important to have good patch management and asset management. I would recommend the solution to other users.

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

I use the Windows Operating System. It all works for daily data operations.

It offers third-party or media environment support. I also like native environment support. Camera, microphone, multimedia instruments, browsers, and patent integrations are better than Linux.

System resource consumption is more than Linux.

I would like better RAM and better memory optimization.  

I have been using it for almost a decade now. 

I would rate the stability a seven out of ten. The memory optimization is not there yet.

This isn't an operating system for network operations. That's why a single operating system. There are around a hundred end users. 

We plan to increase the further usage. 

I used Linux and Solaris. 

The initial setup was easy. It took an hour. 

Just consultant and user. Deployment is just a few simple clicks after you attach the USB drive.  

We needed around three people from the technical team to handle the installation. They were admins and IT managers. 

The ROI is okay. 

It is only a one-time purchase. I can use it for a lifetime. 

Overall, I would rate the product an eight out of ten. I would recommend it from an end-user's operating system.

Windows 10 is a user-friendly product. I do not encounter any struggle while using it.

The system's pricing needs improving.

The product is robust and has good stability.

We have around 40,000 Windows 10 users in our organization. It is a scalable platform.

The initial setup is easy. It only takes a few minutes to complete.

I can implement the product myself for personal use. However, I would require assistance from a consultant to deploy in a professional space.

Windows 10 is expensive. 

I recommend Windows 10 and rate it a ten out of ten. It is deployed on the cloud and has good functionality.

Windows 10 is a standard defect tool for all laptops. Some desktop so that we don't know all I would say all employees, customer computer are using Windows. 

Windows Updating System needs improvement. 

I have been using Windows 10 for five years. 

It is a highly stable solution. I rate the stability an eight out of ten. 

It is a scalable solution. I would rate the scalability an eight out of ten. 

The initial setup is straightforward. I would rate it eight out of ten. The deployment takes less than two hours. 

All Microsoft products are expensive. 

I would rate the overall solution an eight out of ten. 

We used Windows 10 for workstations on operations or corporate offices.

Windows 10 is a user-friendly operating system.

The solution should improve the updates because the computers have a boot error whenever they release an upgrade.

I have been using Windows 10 for three years.

We sometimes couldn't operate the system because of the error on updates.

I rate the solution a nine out of ten for stability.

Less than 1,000 users were using the solution in our organization.

I rate Windows 10 ten out of ten for scalability.

The solution's installation and configuration took around one hour. We deploy the solution manually. Since we don't have automatic deployment, we install the operating system one step at a time.

Since Windows 10 is the only operating system we use, it is very useful for us in the office to run all applications.

We pay a licensing fee for Windows 10, which is too expensive.

Overall, I rate the solution ten out of ten.

I use it as the operating system.

It showcases a diverse range of applications without consuming excessive storage.

When there are updates, the system should automatically identify and remove any unnecessary previous features that are no longer needed, ensuring that they don't take up space on the storage media during this period. A reduction in pricing aligned with the local exchange rate would indeed be a welcomed improvement.

I have been working with it for approximately six years.

I haven't faced any major downtime. All that's required is regular updates to ensure the system remains secure.

The technical support service management is satisfactory for me.

The initial setup was straightforward. The sequential instructions help you enable the follow-along feature, ensuring a smooth progression until you reach the final stages of the installation process.

The installation process is contingent on product specifications detailing RAM and processor requirements. Larger systems with significant resources tend to take more time, while smaller installations, say two or four gigabytes, are completed noticeably easier.

I recognize the value it provides, as it protects me from attacks.

The pricing is on the higher end, especially in Nigeria where the exchange rate is considerably high, making it challenging to afford such products.

Overall, I would rate it eight out of ten.
