Windows 10 Reviews

Windows 10 is something I use for both official and personal purposes.

I believe Windows was also performing governance for us.

I would like to have more security. With each passing phase, you must strengthen your security.  In the next release, I am expecting more security from Windows.

I've been using Windows 10 since its initial release. 

I've been using this operating system for quite some time, several years.

Windows 10 is quite stable.

Everyone in our company uses Windows 10. We have over 7,000 users.

I have never contacted technical support.

There are two things to consider. The first is that, as an organization, our policy is to move on to the next version once it has become stable. It was a group decision rather than an individual decision, leaving me no option, I had to upgrade it, and I did so.

The installation of Windows 10, is pretty straightforward.

To deploy and maintain this solution, we have a team of ten people.

You don't need help installing Windows 10, you can do it yourself.

We are classified as an enterprise and have an enterprise license.

I have no issues recommending this operating system.

I am very happy with Windows 10, I would rate it a nine out of ten.

I am using Windows 10 on my personal and work computers. Everything application that I use has to go through Windows 10. I could not do anything without it.

I have found all the features to be valuable. I like the compatibility of Windows with other products, I can add applications. The general compatibility of Microsoft is good, I know that I can use all the Microsoft products.

I do not like the interface of Windows 10 very much and the performance could be enhanced. Sometimes everything is a little bit cumbersome. When I used the interface of Windows 7 it was much quicker than Windows 10, as far as finding the information. I preferred Windows 7 for this interoperability. It was easier to interact with the Windows 7, to use the control panel. With Windows 10 there are fewer settings in the control panel as well, but there's the different possibility to reach the same information, and sometimes it creates confusion.

Overall, it was easier to reach different programs in the previous version.

In an upcoming release of Windows 10, I would like to see less. There are too many elements or settings. I prefer the operating system to be very minimal because it's only the base to access all the software. It doesn't need to be cumbersome, it should contain what we need and nothing more. For example, the weather, or similar features, only take up memory.

I have been using Windows 10 for approximately six years.

The solution is stable.

I have found it is not scalable.

I have contacted Microsoft support but not for Windows 10. I have spoken to them about all the Office 365 products. They're very quick and I really appreciate them, it's very nice to work with the Microsoft technician. I'm not a Microsoft person, I don't work for Microsoft, but nevertheless, it's a very nice team.

The installation of Windows 10 is quite quick. Windows 10 is a large piece of software and needs time to get installed, but it's quite user-friendly. It takes time, it can't take five minutes to install an operating system, it's okay. It's user-friendly, the installation is quite easy, even for normal users. I'm an admin, but for normal users, I think it's easy as well.

I did the installation of my home computer and at work, I did it through an image, or through an SCCM, which other products are offered by Microsoft.

My company is on a corporate license for Windows 10 and my personal computer I bought the operating system already installed, I did not pay for it.

A normal user I would advise them to follow the instruction when you install Windows 10 and use the search function because everything can be found in the search function. There's lots of information you can find in the browser, in a Google search. We talking about a very specific product. Windows 10 is an operating system, it's not real software, it's difficult to evaluate.

I rate Windows 10 seven out of ten.

The solution is basically used for our work processes. We use it for daily communication.

In terms of Microsoft products, for me, the most important aspect is integration. You are provided with integration between all of these different tools from one vendor. 

For communication, Microsoft Teams is quite good. I like it.

It is a stable solution.

The solution is scalable. The cloud product has scalability as well.

Microsoft recently has been doing a lot to improve their products and we've been happy with the advances. 

If we talk about Windows, it's too generic.

The enterprise version I have contains many things that are not intended to be enterprise; they are intended for home customers. This includes things like some games and some stuff like that. It needs to be more streamlined and customized for business users. 

I've been using the solution for a couple of years now. It's likely been around four or so.

The solution is very stable. There are no bugs or glitches and it doesn't crash or freeze. It's very reliable. The performance is good.

The solution has been very scalable, especially if you take advantage of the cloud deployment model. If a company needs to expand it, it's easy enough to do so.

We have this solution on every computer, It's used by thousands of people within our organization.

Sometimes I need to contact technical support to give me some additional rights or something like that. Or to install something that I don't have, as a corporate company and you cannot just install everything you want on your computer. You have to ask for support. This is our internal team, however. 

I have never called Microsoft myself. Therefore, I cannot speak to how helpful or responsive they are.

At other companies, I did use other products. However, here, it's always been Windows. 

I don't deal with the installation process. Our IT department does it. It's not my problem.

There's an internal team that deals with maintenance as well. I do not have to worry about that.

We have an IT department that can internally handle any implementations. 

I'm not aware of the costs involved in the product. I do not handle licensing.

We are a customer and an end-user.

We are using the latest version of the solution. I cannot speak to the exact version number.

I would rate the solution at an eight out of ten. We've been pleased with its capabilities in the years we've used it.

I would recommend the solution to other users and companies. It works well. 

As a Microsoft Tester, I like enabling the Microsoft Hyper-V and running the Virtual Machines for testing purposes.

I like Windows products.

Some time ago we had Windows Forms, but it did not perform well enough and Microsoft ended up terminating that area of the business.

I believe that it would be beneficial to introduce Windows Forms back into the solution to have a better experience transitioning from a desktop to a mobile version.

Currently, we are experiencing a lot of activities from hackers. People trying to break into the networks to access our data. This is an issue that is causing concern. I don't see a way of making it better or different. This became a large business for hackers. 

It would be great to have a more secure interface, especially in a business environment of critical content. For example, our company has a very high level of governance and security procedures.

There are many updates on a monthly basis. I understand that is how Microsoft helps their customers to manage and be secure with regard to Cyberattacks that we may experience. From a user's perspective, it's not a good experience. From an IT perspective, I know how important those things are.

It should be something that runs more in the background where it is not seen and has less of an impact than they usually have.

When we roll out any Microsoft patch across the Network which is done every Thursday, it had not seen a few computers having issues. That's bringing us X amount of work because we need to remediate the user's issue and all those things.

If Microsoft could find a way to better manage updates and patches, that could be more useful for end users, which would be good.

From an IT perspective, I would like something similar to Splunk where it has some type of visibility, or provide the user with power, or something that we could enable. For example, if we were attacked, we could enable something or download something as a part of the Microsoft portfolio to provide us with more visibility about the threat that is floating around.

I have been working with Windows 10 since it's been on the market.

My opinion is that Windows 10 is very stable.

I have not had many opportunities to contact technical support but have a few times.

My last contact with them was regarding server versions, which involved Exchange 2013, and few other things, and also about Windows 10 support.

My experience with enterprise support was good and we didn't have any issues, but specifically with Windows 10, it's wasn't a good experience.

Microsoft should have the same level of service. I was expecting more from Microsoft.

We are also working with all Microsoft operational systems, from Windows 10 to Windows Servers, Active Directory, and Office 365.

I have worked with Windows since Windows 95 and it has changed a lot. It is very quick to deploy.

It is different when you analyze things and think in a more technical way, but even a non-technical person could install Windows from scratch with no issues.

I am currently studying for Microsoft Administrator, but I don't have hands-on experience with Key Vault.

I would recommend Windows 10 to others who are interested in using it.

The Microsoft portfolio is quite large. It is difficult to think of what Microsoft hasn't already developed so far.

I would rate Windows 10 a seven out of ten.

Windows 10 is the operating system that I use.

The most valuable feature is the set of multiple applications that are available.

Every application has a place in Windows and it is good that most people in most companies know exactly where to find them.

I use Windows PowerShell, which runs the DOS commands. It is a little bit complicated but it still runs.

The stability could be improved, as I've had issues where it's crash or frozen.

Some of the command-line utilities could be a little cleaner.

There could be more information available online for PowerShell. It has a lot, but there can never be enough of that.

I have been using Windows 10 for between two and three years.

The stability is something that should be improved.

Scalability-wise, it is good. Windows 10 can grow as big or be as small as you want it to be.

We are in a government office and we have a couple of thousand people who use it.

I have never dealt with Microsoft technical support.

We upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 10.

Several years ago, I worked with the old DOS system and I am still used to it. 

My advice for anybody who is using Windows 10 is to make sure that you continue to do the updates and keep your patches up to date.

I would rate this solution a seven out of ten.

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.

I use the solution for my daily work.

The solution is faster compared to other operating systems I have used. It is much more advanced than Windows 7 and Windows XP.

The product must reduce the number of updates. When a company uses an operating system, the employees must adapt it. It can release more versions instead of giving so many updates.

I have been using the solution for the last four years.

I rate the tool’s stability a nine out of ten. It has a lot of updates. We need to wait till the updates are completed.

I am the only user.

I have used Fedora. It's my favorite product. I switched to Windows 10 because of our company’s policy.

The setup is very straightforward. The deployment takes one hour. We just download the file, burn it into a disc, and boot the machine or the hard drive.

I can deploy the product myself.

I highly recommend the solution to others. Overall. I rate the product a nine out of ten.
