Windows 10 Reviews

I'm using it in my new company. I'm working in ISP right now and I'm using the laptop to connect to my applications. That's all I'm using it for. I'm using just virtualization services on my laptop. 

The solution is quite stable. The performance is good.

The product has been easy to use and simple to navigate.  

The solution has the capability to scale if necessary.

The initial setup is very easy.

I found that it slowed down my laptop a bit.

I find that, when we start the laptop, when we shut down and restart the laptop, it will take a bit of time to restart. It will take around one minute to restart in total, which feels like a long time. I need the time to be reduced. After replacing the SSD, it reduced the time a bit, however, it has not reduced the time that much overall.

The interface could be more friendly.

Some security features and some services are automatically getting switched on that is of no use. There should be an option that allows us to customize the services that we want to run or that we don't want to run.

I've been using the solution for seven years at this point. I use it on my laptop, and it is pretty old at this point.

The stability of the solution is good. it doesn't crash or freeze and there are no bugs or glitches. It's quite reliable.

The solution can scale. For what I use it for, it's served its purpose.

I'm not sure how many people actually use the solution, as I am new to the organization. I have it on my laptop and suspect more if not all of the employees do too.

The solution is not difficult or complex to install. It is very straightforward and simple. A company shouldn't have any issues with the setup process.

It only took about 40 minutes to set up and deploy the solution. It's pretty fast.

I installed the solution myself. I did not need the assistance of any integrators or consultants.

I have a home license that costs me around 1,000 rupees.

I'm just a customer and an end-user.

I'm using the solution from my laptop, not from the server.

I'm using the latest version of the solution. I'm constantly updating it.

I'd rate the solution at a seven out of ten, as I found that this particular generation made my laptop run a bit slow.

My laptop is my work and life laptop. I'm a small business owner — my laptop is my lifeblood. More recently, with all this COVID stuff and remote learning, I had to repurpose a couple of my older laptops that deprecated out of my own personal use; I made them suitable for my kids to use for online education. That's what led me to upgrade them from Windows seven to Windows 10.

Everybody in my company uses Windows 10.

Our entire DevOps team works on Microsoft machines. I suppose there are hip little companies out there that use Apple products — that's ineffable to me. I think Windows has done a good job of addressing a lot of concerns around stability and computational inefficiency. It used to be the case that when you were doing more complex, high-intensity computing, you probably needed to be on Linux machines. I don't think that's as true as it used to be. I know smart people that use Apple, but it blows my mind.

My impression is that the security via windows defender is good enough that I no longer feel a need for another third-party security solution, which had always been the case in the past. I think that perception still holds true. I might be wrong about that, but prior to Windows 10, I always felt obliged to go with, Norton or McAfee as an additional anti-virus service. So, I began reading reviews and got comfortable with the idea that Windows Defender as a primary security system was good enough.

I don't like a lot of the features that are in it. I'm still somewhat archaic in that I like the form-factor of a traditional laptop: I don't want to touch my screen; I don't want it to behave like a tablet; I don't want it to bend in weird ways that I'm never actually going to use. There are a lot of features in Windows 10 that seem to be designed for it to be deployed on a Window's surface or something like that. I don't want that Cortana voice feature. I don't need to talk to my laptop. The phone application where you can integrate your smartphone with it so that you can directly view images that are on your phone, that feature sucks. Everything's tied-in via Bluetooth; it's kind of a pain in the ass because it hijacks your calls.

I have been using Windows 10 for roughly two and a half years.

Stability-wise, it's pretty good. I put it through its paces more than most people. Outlook doesn't integrate nearly well enough with Google Mail Servers. I think that's more than a Microsoft Office issue than windows. Still, when you host your mail on Google (I host with Google but I use Outlook as an email client), the integration is poor. Google or Outlook issue some new updates once every couple of months that make them play worse together for a week. It's kind of annoying. I think it's a conscious business decision though. I suspect foul play on both sides.

As I use Windows 10 for personal use, I can't comment on the scalability.

The only thing I've ever used Window's tech support for was to upgrade from Windows 7 to Windows 10, which you're able to do for free. Which is cool.

The initial setup is pretty straightforward — it's Windows. Microsoft is one of the largest, most valuable companies in the world despite not being ever seen as cool, newer, sexy.

My advice would be to go ahead and use Windows 10. Overall, on a scale from one to ten, I would give this solution a rating of eight.

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.

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.

We made the transition to Windows 11 for our daily use, and we've found it to be a more efficient and lighter operating system. It appears to offer improved security and flexibility.

Among the most valuable aspects are the graphics tools and the integrated security features, with a notably effective firewall. It's a stable system overall.

Sometimes, upgrades may fail, leading to system crashes or other unexpected issues. There have been instances of performance concerns and occasional hiccups when dealing with Huawei's customized version of Windows 10.

I have been using it for four years.

I would rate its support services eight out of ten.

Positive

It falls within the average price range; it's not particularly cheap or expensive.

Overall, I would rate it seven out of ten.

I use Windows 10 to access my browser, make text documents, and run some personal applications.

Windows 10's most valuable feature is that it is quite intuitive and really easy to use compared to other operating systems.

Windows 10 should have less frequent updates.

I have been using Windows 10 for a few years.

So far, Windows 10 has been quite stable.

The initial setup of Windows 10 is quite straightforward.

Overall, I rate Windows 10 an eight out of ten.

We are a small company and we use Windows 10 Professional for four of our computers.  We use Windows 11 Pro on the newer PC and will transition to it as we replace the older machines.

Windows 10 Professional is more stable than our previous version, Windows 7 Enterprise, for our purposes.  We've not had a single crash since installing it.

Windows 10 Professional allows us to network our internal computers and share files easily. 

Startup time is faster with Windows 10 over Windows 7 Enterprise.

It is highly stable.  As mentioned above, we've not had any crashes in three years, which is amazing. 

Microsoft releases patches and updates.  And we've not had any issues with them, so far.

The applications seem to run smoother on Windows 10 Pro than they did with Windows 7.

It would be great if Microsoft could make PCs boot much faster but I think it may be more of a function of the PC's system design than the operating system.  Solid-state drives have no mechanical mechanisms making them faster than the earlier hard disk drive technology.  I'm an end-user, like most people, and want my PC to boot faster so I may begin my work.  

As I think further about Windows 10 improvement, it would be better if Microsoft could improve how their operating system stores files.  And I would like to find my information quicker without having to devise a new search strategy every time I forget where I stored a file.

I have been using the solution since it came out. I believe it was approximately three years.  I'm still using Windows 10 on my older PC and use Windows 11 on the newer one.

It seems to be reliable. We've not had any crashes with it on any of our PCs in three years of daily heavy use.

We don't have scalability as a requirement.

We've not had to use Microsoft customer service with Windows 10. We've used tech experts on user blogs that are available online for unusual situations with other Microsoft applications but not yet with Windows 10 Professional.  I don't know if these experts are paid or not but they usually respond within 48 hours. 

Positive

We used Windows 7 Enterprise, which was occasionally unstable, but effective overall.  Windows 10 Professional is more stable.

The setup is automatic. Hit the go button and it installs smoothly.

No.

We haven't calculated it, but I would estimate that the lack of crashes saved us at least 20 hours per year per PC.  Maybe, that is a bit high, but it's a ballpark guess.

Windows 10 was already factory installed on our new PCs.  We upgraded to Windows 10 Professional later.  For home users, the professional version is not necessary unless file sharing between PCs is a requirement.

No.

I rate Windows 10 Professional an eight out of ten.

The solution is used as an operating system for running applications, such as email, spreadsheets, file sharing, and Oracle.

Additionally, we use Windows because it is a requirement of both applications and for many businesses. Windows is at the center of the application. We use it for the POS applications that run on Navision ERP from Microsoft. 

Windows 10 is easier for people to learn than other alternative solutions. Microsoft has been doing a very good job recently with updates and integrations, such as the collaboration with Ubuntu.

Windows 7 and Windows 10 are identical. However, Windows 10 is the slowest of all the variants. You need to use a solid-state drive if you are going to run Windows. Otherwise, once you install it, and give it some time it is going to slow your whole system down. Especially if you are using the internet, it is going to slow your system down fast. Additionally, it could be more secure as Windows 10 is more vulnerable to viruses. 

This solution is very different from Linux where everything that you run is a process. Windows is not as fast as Linux, it is slower when you run processes, but Windows has something that attracts you to it and I think it is because of familiarity.

Microsoft monitors what you are doing. If they removed telemetry, Cortana, and other snooping tactics it would be a lot faster. The updates have to be watched because they can have some surprises related to the gathering of information.

I have been using this solution for approximately five years.

The solution is stable.

We have approximately 600 systems running Windows.

We have not used support from Microsoft. 

We have previously used Windows 7, Windows Server, and Linux.

The installation is easy and is very fast.

We have a team of 20 that does the maintenance and deployment of this solution.

There is a one-time license purchase for Windows 10.

I have evaluated Windows 11.

I would prefer Linux to Microsoft. However, Microsoft is releasing Windows 11 and they have made some great advancements. We will see in the near future the new features.

I rate Windows 10 a seven out of ten.
