It's pretty easy to use
Pros and Cons
  • "We've been using Windows for a long time, and I think it's pretty easy to use."
  • "They should have something like a dashboard where users can tune the performance. After using Windows 10 for a while, the operating system starts to slow down. It does not operate like it did when you first installed it."

What is most valuable?

We've been using Windows for a long time, and I think it's pretty easy to use.

What needs improvement?

They should have something like a dashboard where users can tune the performance. After using Windows 10 for a while, the operating system starts to slow down. It does not operate like it did when you first installed it. So, in the long run, I don't know what the cache is holding and how it's slowing down the operating system's performance. The same goes for the Microsoft Office applications. 

For how long have I used the solution?

I've been using Windows 10 ever since it was first released. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Windows 10 is stable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

I'm not sure about Windows' scalability because I don't specialize in this operating system. I deal with networks.

How are customer service and support?

My colleagues are pleased with Microsoft's support. 

How was the initial setup?

Installing Windows 10 is quite easy. You can get your system up and running in less than 30 minutes by yourself. We have three engineers responsible for maintaining our Windows systems.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

I think for Windows 10, you only have to pay once.

What other advice do I have?

I rate Windows 10 nine out of 10. I would recommend it.
