Windows 10 Reviews

I primarily use the product for running personal applications.

The solution offers a high amount of stability. It has not been corrupted at any time and the performance is good. 

It's holding all of my software and normal applications that are used on the PC.

The product has been very user-friendly.

I have found the product to be scalable.

The initial setup is very easy. 

I have no notes on how to make it better. For my purposes, it has worked perfectly.

The security could always be better. I'd like more security specifically on my PC and I have noticed that Windows does not yet offer very good security.

We've used the solution for many years. I'm not sure of the exact amount of time, however, we implemented it around the time it was first offered. It's been a long time. 

The stability is excellent. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. It's quite reliable and the performance, overall, is very good. 

The solution so far seems to be quite scalable for my purposes. 

I only have it for personal use and use it on my three PCs. I don't have a large setup.

I've never had the opportunity to contact technical support. I cannot speak to how helpful or responsive they are.

I previously used Windows 7. I've used older versions of Windows, however, when I log into my server, I'm using Windows Server 2016.

The installation is very straightforward. It's easy to install. The process is not overly difficult or complex. 

The deployment, from what I recall, is very quick. It might have taken around 20 minutes or so. 

You can choose a monthly or a yearly subscription.

I'm a customer and an end-user.

I'm not sure if we are using the latest version of the solution. I cannot speak to the version number. 

I'd rate the solution at a nine out of ten We've been very pleased with its capabilities. 

I would recommend this solution to other users. 

I use it mainly as the operating system for my tech development work. I'm running some kind of research studio and a database on this.

I like how Windows 10 is quite stable. 

It would be better if there were more integration with Linux and Azure.

I have been using Windows 10 for several years. I got it when it first came out.

I've been in business since 1980, so I have used many operating systems like Sun. That's what it was called before Oracle bought them.

The initial setup is straightforward, but it takes some time to download and implement this solution.

I don't pay for my personal use. However, my company certainly has some licenses, but I'm not aware of what they pay for them.

I would recommend this solution to new users.

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

We like the solution as it offers basic functionality and you don't need to be an expert to use it.

The solution supports touch screens, which is useful for me, as I utilize touchscreen devices often. It supports tablets, for example, which is great.

It's a massively popular product. About 80% of the operating systems in the world are Microsoft Windows.

The solution is easy to install. Even my child could set up the system.

The interface is intuitive and very self-explanatory. It's easier to use than Mac or Linux.

The product offers very good instructions.

It would be great if the solution was more stable. It's a mass-produced product and people around the world use it extensively, which makes it a target for attacks. It needs better security against hackers.

The solution needs to be more resilient against viruses. Apple computers, for example, are great in this sense.

The solution could be more lightweight. The OS should be built lighter. Users shouldn't have to buy the highest-end processor or devices in order to run the OS smoothly. There should be less demand on the hardware.

They could build or create an operating system that's less powerful than now. Currently, every year, we have to buy new devices just to have the best of Microsoft Windows products. If you want to have the best SharePoint, you have to add RAM. You have to have more and more powerful machines, just to have it run properly. It's demanding on the consumer. There are too many upgrades that are necessary and they happen too often.

We've been using the solution since its first release. It's been a while now.

The solution in my opinion isn't very stable. It's vulnerable to attacks.

The initial setup was very straightforward. We didn't have any trouble at all. I simply asked the customer center to set up my particular version. There are no admin privileges on my work laptop, so I don't have authority to add anything, therefore I needed their assistance.

We're Microsoft customers.

We're always on the latest version of the solution. Part of our security policy requires us to be on the latest update at all times. 

We have a patch server that will deploy the latest patches, with updates to the clients, to regular machines.

I'd rate the solution eight out of ten. If it was more stable and offered better data protection, I would rate it higher.

Most of the best Windows 10 features are centered around getting you where you want to go faster. The new right-click menu is fantastic from an IT perspective. It gives access to many commonly used tools, like Device Manager, Computer Management, PowerShell, Task Manager and Programs and Features, right from the desktop. The new Task Manager is also much more fully featured and informative.

The overall speed of Windows 10 is fantastic as well. It boots quickly, shuts down quickly, and the overall use is snappy and responsive.

Windows 10 Pro and Enterprise come with fully featured Hyper-V. Desktop admins can create VMs for testing purposes without the need for extra machines.

Users can use Miracast to the Surface Hub, which is great for meetings and client walkthroughs.

The settings and control panel are oddly disjointed. Things that show up in the Control Panel do not always show up in Settings and vice-versa. It is a pain to remember what is where.

We have used this nine months in production.

There is also a tremendous amount of bloatware on Windows 10. Without performing offline maintenance on the image, you have to clean up quite a bit of stray apps and consumer level services to get it to be usable in a corporate environment.

Our version of Trend caused Windows 10 to freeze unexpectedly at random times. Only after Trend released a compatible version did the issues subside and the OS become stable.

We use SCCM, so scalability is no issue, once the imaging process was ironed out.

We primarily use online forums and communities unless you want to pay Microsoft to open a support case. It does benefit from being the most popular OS on the planet, as there is amble advice out there from third parties.

We used Windows 7 and are migrating to be ahead of the support EOL.

It takes a few iterations of installing Windows 10 to get everything tweaked to a place of having a smooth imaging and configuration process. Little things like registry tweaks, GPO tweaks, take time to iron out. Having an imaging solution is a must to scale in any way.

We implemented it in-house. I did the implementation.

Get a KMS server and a volume license if you are a medium sized business. Being able to wipe and re-image is crucial for long term stability of your fleet. Having a Multiple Activation Key (MAK) makes it so every new activation counts against your total.

Work with a reseller like CDW to get licensing costs that fit your needs, as Microsoft's model is confusing.

We did not evaluate other options. We need to use Windows to support our finance applications.

Windows 10 is the best parts of Windows 8 and Windows 7 rolled into one. Windows 8 started a lot of features and functions that shine here in Windows 10, while the criticism has allowed Microsoft to work at user experience more for this iteration. There is a bit too much bloatware by default, and some strange decisions about settings aside, it is a great OS that should only get better with time.

Windows 10 can be used for admin tasks, developing, gaming, etc.

Windows 10's operating system is quite popular. Windows 10 is easy to use with a good user interface.

I would like to get less frequent updates from Windows 10.

I have been using Windows 10 for 18 to 20 years.

I rate Windows 10 an eight out of ten for stability.

Windows 10 is a scalable solution. Approximately 50 to 60 users are using the software in our company.

Windows 10 has an easy setup.

The deployment of Windows 10 takes about 20 minutes. The solution can be deployed on the cloud and on-prem as well. One or two people are required for the maintenance of the solution.

We have seen a return on investment with Windows 10.

Overall, I rate Windows 10 a nine out of ten.

I use the solution for accessing emails, browsers, and RDP.

The product is user-friendly. It is a flexible solution. It allows you to choose between versions.

The product is exposed to more threats compared to Mac.

I have been using the solution since it was released.

Mac has limited features compared to Windows. The product’s reboot time has been incredibly reduced. Overall, I rate the solution a seven out of ten.

Our operation is remote, and third-party vendors completely provide our PCs. We have a contract with them, so they provided the hardware and remote software installation through automation services. They have the images. Each PC is personal, and we have one for each employee in the company, so there are around 70,000 users.

We have an Office-based environment, so we work on Microsoft Office and Teams. We use this for remote connections, networking, and whatever. A lot of our activities are based on Microsoft Teams. 

This isn't related to Windows 10, but rather the application that works on top. Teams is a good application, and it has provided excellent support for us in terms of exchanging information remotely during the pandemic. Teams is an important tool for us, and so are the others like Office, Excel, and PowerPoint.

Windows 10 isn't as stable as MacOS and requires too many patches. When the patches are installing, it slows down the PC. These changes are complex, and many processes are running simultaneously, so we experience a decrease in speed.

Another thing that could be useful is the ability to create virtual machines inside to have a hypervisor if it's possible. That way, we could use the operating system to create new virtual machines, allowing us to add special installations that might be useful for personal projects. But this is complex, but it could meet the market demand. VMware is the most widely used system globally, and Oracle is also common. So it would be great if we had something that could be used inside the operating system without installing something on top.

We've been using Windows 10 for three or four years. We had a recent upgrade, and I think we'll be moving toward Windows 11 soon.

Windows 10 isn't always stable. But we have an automated patching system, and we're required to install a lot of patches. 

Our platform is 16 gigabytes, and we primarily use i5-based processors. For our typical use, this hardware is fine. We connect through the usual tools to our test plant, and we use normally Linux or Unix-based environments for development. The PCs are primarily used for office applications.

We had an earlier version of Windows on our PCs. And about 15 years ago, we had a solution based on Sun Microsystems, so we used Unix. Windows 10 isn't as stable. That's why I prefer the macOS configuration. It's also less stable than the Unix-based Sun Microsystems setup we used some time ago.I think Windows is easier to use for office applications. But I wouldn't recommend it for industrial or telecom applications because I think many things need to be adjusted continuously, so I don't like this.

I can install Windows 10 but not in our office because our external support provides it. However, I also have experience installing the full stack on a personal PC, so I think it's easy to do. I don't like the automatic installation of the patches because it's managed internally by the OS. In Unix, it's possible to make some changes. But the bottom line is that it's quite simple to install. I don't think that it's a problem. It takes maybe half an hour or less to install. It depends on the specs of the PC and what you need to do in advance, like backing up your drives. At most, it takes an hour.

I rate Windows 10 eight out of 10. Microsoft should fix their releases as much as possible before putting them out. When I first installed Windows 10, I had to implement a lot of patches every week. This is not good. And even if we have a support service that prevents malware, we need to install antivirus and check every day. This isn't a problem for Unix-based platforms, which have more resilience for that. It depends on the use case. If you want to use Windows 10 for office applications, it's okay, but I wouldn't recommend it for industrial applications.

We need some operating system, a means to work, which is why we use Windows 10.

I have not seen any slowness or any file corruption or misbehaving which leads to any obstacles in my day-to-day work. It works well and is stable. The performance is good.

The initial setup is simple. 

The solution has the potential to scale. 

I cannot recall coming across any shortcomings or missing features. 

The pricing could always be lower.

I've been dealing with the solution for two years. We haven't used it for that long. 

The solution is stable and the performance is good. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. It's a reliable operating system. It's much more stable than the older version.

The solution is scalable, and, if a company needs to expand it, it can do so.

I might not have encountered cases where I needed to contact any technical teams. I was able to solve a few of the problems simply by looking them up on Google. Therefore, I can't speak to how helpful or responsive their services are. 

The initial setup is pretty straightforward. The process is complex. 

We would prefer if Microsoft's pricing was a bit less. 

We only pay for the license. We don't have to pay extra for ancillary services, technical support, or features.

I would rate the solution at a nine out of ten. I haven't given it a perfect mark as there is always room for some form of improvement, even on solutions that work quite well.

I'd recommend it to other users and companies.
