"The most valuable feature of this solution is that it is free."

"The solution is stable and reliable."
"Good user interface, flexible and stable."
"The initial setup is very straightforward."
"Even if users aren't very technical, they can use Windows."
"The solution is versatile and allows for easy installation."
"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 needs to be a little bit more secure."
"I have some challenges with the search box. It's a good tool, but sometimes there are some problems. For example, I can't find an application that I installed earlier."
"There are a lot of frequent updates. They can reduce the number of updates and combine them into one monthly update. It also uses a lot of RAM and CPU, which should be fixed."
"Windows 10 could improve by being more user-friendly and provide a screen mirroring feature for the ability to share the screen with mobile devices without having to purchase a third-party application. With Mac OS it is able to be done right away."
"The solution could improve by adding more dashboards."
"The licensing could always be less expensive."
"If the desktop version could be a little bit more like the mobile application, that would be great. It's just easier to navigate."
