Windows 10 Reviews

My primary use case of Windows 10 is for personal use. I don't run anything business-related on Windows. I use it from time-to-time and it's deployed on-premises. I use it a couple of times a year, whenever I occasionally need to do small tasks, like copy files that only Windows has access to. 

The most valuable feature is that it's a good enough operating system for anyone who isn't technically proficient. 

This solution is good enough, but Windows is always playing catch-up when it comes to development. For instance, Docker containers is technology that was introduced with Linux and they just decided that it was usable. The primary reason why I rarely use Windows is that it's not interesting from a development perspective. 

An improvement I would like to see is in Windows updates. They don't seem to test the updates. My wife uses Windows as well and after the update, her computer was no longer usable. It was what we call the "blue screen of death." It had to be erased and started up from scratch, which was a nightmare. It seems that they aren't testing their updates anymore, they're just pushing them, and they're not propagating the updates to everybody. They're propagating to a specific, small portion of people. Only after do they check if everything is okay. If there's no bad feedback, then they increase the scope, release the updates to the wider public, and so on. Windows is a paid operating system, so this is not normal and not okay. I would expect this from open source technologies, but even these are better. We are using the open source version of Ubuntu, which is free, and it's still way better than the updates for Microsoft operating systems. I have only worked with the desktop version of Windows 10, so I don't know how things work for the server operating systems, but at least for the common user of Windows 10, it's a nightmare. 

I have been using Windows 10 for a few years. 

This solution is stable, but updates affect this too. The operating system is stable until an update causes everything to crash. This happens more often that not, I would say. My wife has had two issues with this. On two separate occasions, her computer has crashed just because of the updates. Every time her computer restarts because of an update that needs to be installed, she is afraid that her computer will stop working. 

I'm not sure because I am the only one who uses Windows, and even then it's on very rare occasions. 

I have never dealt with Microsoft technical support. 

I haven't installed Windows myself. My wife says that Windows was already installed and licensed along with the machine that she purchased. 

I implemented through a vendor team. Windows 10 came with the laptop my wife purchased. 

Our Windows 10 license was purchased with a laptop. 

I also use the open source version of Ubuntu Linux, which is free and still runs better than Windows 10. If you are technically proficient, I recommend going with Ubuntu Linux. If not, go with Windows. 

For cloud-based software, I use G Suite Enterprise. I use this software to communicate with customers who need to record videos and other things like that, and I prefer it over Zoom. 

I would rate Windows 10 a five out of ten, primarily because the updates for the desktop version are a nightmare and need improvement. I recommend Windows to anybody who isn't technically proficient. Otherwise, go with Ubuntu Linux. 

My primary use case is for daily office work. I use the full Microsoft 365 suite with Outlook, PowerPoint, all those tools. We have fully implemented Microsoft and don't use any third-party applications. Outlook is the main mail application, Teams and Lync are for communication, Word and PowerPoint are for editing, preparing documents, and presentation. 

The most valuable feature is how friendly the interface is. I expect that we will soon go up to Windows 11 because it's already available. 

Windows 10 could be improved by implementing synchronization between Teams and Skype for Business. If you're in a conference call in one tool, the other tool shows that you're available. This means that you get calls from other people in your organization while you are unavailable. So synchronization is missing, that's all. 

I have been using Windows 10 for a few years. 

This solution is stable. 

This solution is scalable. 

I have never contacted technical support. If I have a problem, I contact my IT department and they are the ones who contact Microsoft, but they know how to solve most problems. 

The installation was very easy. I received a link from our IT department, clicked the link, and within a few minutes everything was up and running. You can do it yourself. 

I implemented myself. 

I'm unsure of cost or licensing because our IT department handles that. 

Even though Microsoft won't need my recommendation because Windows is such a popular tool, I recommend this to anyone who is looking into implementing this solution. 

There are about 500 people in my organization using this solution. There is no team necessary for deployment and you spend almost no time on maintenance compared to the duration of time that you are using Windows. It's very simple. 

I would rate Windows 10 a ten out of ten. It's a perfect tool and the cost is very reasonable. 

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.

We primarily use the solution on all of the company desktops and laptops. We use it for running personal and business applications.

The solution is easy to use. 

The performance is decent. I don't see many incidents of it crashing. 

The installation is easy and the deployment is pretty quick.

I wouldn't describe the solution as scalable. 

Compared to Ubuntu or other products, I don't consider the operating system to be that great in terms of stability.

We've been using this solution for seven or eight years at this point. 

The stability of the product isn't as good as, for example, Ubuntu. That said, I rarely deal with it crashing. 

The solution does not really scale.

We have about 5,000 users that use this product in our organization. 

We have internal support which is good and we get it pretty fast when we need it. 

We have a combination of Microsoft Windows, Oracle Linux, and Red Hat Enterprise Linux. We used to use Windows 7 and we've since updated everything to Windows 10.

The installation is straightforward and it only takes about 40 minutes to deploy. 

I can handle the implementation process myself. I do not need outside assistance from integrators or consultants. 

You do have to pay in order to use the solution, however, it is a one-time fee. You do not have to worry about daily or monthly licensing costs. 

I'd rate the solution at an eight out of ten.

I would recommend this product to other users and companies.

I'm using Windows 10 to run personal and business applications. Otherwise, I'm using Windows Server.

It would be nice if the next version of Windows had more integration. 

I've been using Windows 10 for two or three years. 

Compared to previous Microsoft services and Windows versions, Windows 10 is a lot more stable. 

Microsoft support is good.

We've been using Windows since Windows 95. In the past, we've used Linux but not recently. 

Windows 10 was preloaded on my system so there was no installation. 

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.

You can use Windows 10 for multiple things, but we are using it for our business requirements.

Windows 10 needs to be a little bit more secure. We're getting patches and updates from time to time.

We've been using Windows 10 ever since it was first released. We upgraded our systems from Windows 7 to Windows 10 a few months after it launched.

All I can say is that it's a very stable operating system. 

Windows 10 was pre-loaded onto our machines, but installing the operating system takes around half an hour at most.

Our computers came pre-loaded with Windows 10, so we paid everything up front.

I rate Windows 10 nine out of 10. 

I'm using Windows 10 on my company laptop.

Windows 10 is a pretty standard platform.

Windows 10 is a typical Microsoft operating system. Sometimes it doesn't work, and it constantly needs fixing in terms of upgrades, patches, etc. It does its job, but it can be unpredictable.

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

I had a big problem with Microsoft support.

I rate Windows 10 seven out of 10.
