Windows 10
March 2024
Learn what your peers think about Windows 10. Get advice and tips from experienced pros sharing their opinions. Updated: March 2024.
768,740 professionals have used our research since 2012.
Compared to earlier versions I've used, it's certainly an improvement in some ways. I started with Windows way back, maybe even before 3.0, though that was the first widely used.
I was already using Windows 2.0 during university, then was required to use 3.0, 3.1, and Windows 95. I skipped 98 and switched to XP.
So, it's hard to pinpoint a specific "business case" for Windows 10. There's Linux as an alternative, but compatibility with the applications I use just wasn't there, making it a poor choice for me. In that sense, it's mostly just a one-way street.

One feature I have found most valuable is Windows Hello. Windows Hello brings in a password-less solution, wherein users don't need to type in their password. They can do biometric logins or pin-based logins. It has also come up with some modern apps, which is useful for an app store kind of experience, like when we open Google Store or Play Store on our Androids or devices. So, that is important. I think adding apps to the system has become relatively easy with Windows 10, and I think it also comes with the modern experience. More widgets, more notifications, which are consumer friendly.
It already has a wide penetration in the enterprise environment, as well as a consumer environment. There is an ecosystem that is already built, and Windows fits well there. Replacing it with another operating system will require a lot of investment, as well as training the users. There's a sharp learning curve if we have to change the operating system. There are business workflows that are already built. There's a lot of documentation, a lot of IP that the industry has built around Windows, and changing that base layer will actually invalidate all that IP.

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.

If I am being honest, I'm not a big Microsoft fan myself. I just find it a little bit clumsy, at least with the desktop application, it's just hard to navigate. I find the online interface, the mobile version, a lot more simple to use which makes it easier to collaborate with my staff. When you open up the mobile version, it's already fed to the cloud and you can share it from there, but I think that it could be a generational thing. Most of the staff in my office don't always make sure that the documents are safe in one draft. Sometimes we end up having multiple copies in one day.
I find the interface with Teams to be very useful.
I like the library feature (connected to OneDrive). You can check back in-house to see who the last user was — I find that to be extremely helpful.
In terms of Microsoft Word, if the desktop version could be a little bit more like the mobile application, that would be great. It's just easier to navigate.
It's relatively useful, in terms of navigating and finding what I need.

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.

Windows is a mature product now and it's secure enough compared to its past versions. There are other operating systems, even if you like Linux or Mac, however, this product now has an acceptable risk level and it's improved over the years.

First off, I would count stability as a valuable feature. Then, I would mention Microsoft's effective management.
Moreover, Windows 10 is unique in that it comes with its own antivirus firewall, which obviates the need to purchase one separately. Although we have an antivirus enterprise, the Windows 10 antivirus and anti-spam features can be relied on in their own right.
Take me, for example. I don't have an antivirus solution on my personal computer at home, but rely on the feature that comes with Windows 10. I have had no issues with the security. At work we make use of Symantec as our official antivirus solution and this is to provide the company with extra security measures.
So, out of the box, you can get a stable, efficient and secure solution in Windows 10.

Management Executive at a security firm with 11-50 employees
We like that the patches are automatic. It takes away a lot of the administrative burden, from a security point of view, on the environment. You do not really need to worry about patch management on a Windows 10 machine, as it automatically does it. Those are the benefits that we see from a management point of view.
For personal or professional setups, the solution works well.
The solution is stable.
We find the solution to be quite scalable.
It does what it's meant to do. You don't want the platform to do anything more than what it's doing at the moment. It gives you the analytics. It gives you the right security posture. You can draw on it. It can integrate with other solutions.
What we like about the stack of products is if you manage it on a management console, it cuts across the enterprise. That's a benefit in terms of your rollout strategy. It's quicker to deploy, easier to deploy, and it definitely affects the user to a large degree. It doesn't consume too many resources on your endpoint.
Technical support is great in South Africa.

Application Start control, of course, but the refresh and deployment was beneficial to our global efforts. Lot of accounting types in organisation. AZURE AD subscriber has updates within product. Compliance to ECCN/CCAT (exporting), NIST, ISO, IEEE; quick and efficient closure. Abandon IE, Mozilla (e.g.Chrome, FireFox); settle with EDGE was challenging and big adjustment. This put a scope (pre-assessment) on those applications unready or behind in development efforts, devops pre-scanning had to be deployed. Long 10 months and rework in devops, set SDLC with some suppliers to perform or loose, sign-offs on setting on virtual site (i.e. closed to desktops by policy).
Project include 2016 Office 365 Products, and fresh start.

As the security patches are pushed out by our IT, I don't even notice when there's a new upgrade required. With the previous versions, you always had to restart your machine quite often in order to perform an upgrade. I don't really notice that so much now.
