"Patch management could be improved."

"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."
"If someone is coming from a previous Windows experience, it could be complex."
"Microsoft must realize that it's operating in Africa. We cannot pay US dollars. For the cost of Microsoft Windows 10, it's just not affordable for the majority of the population in South Africa. Who's going to spend that amount of money when people are barely affording to live? It's costly."
"The solution could be more stable."
"The design of different folders and icons should be more intuitive and accessible. Windows 10 should offer the wireless transfer of file and folder sharing between mobile devices and computers, similar to the AirDrop feature by Apple."
"The security features need improvement."
