Windows 10 Reviews

I prefer using Windows 10 on my workstation. The user interface is more user-friendly, making navigating the operating system and applications easier. Since I'm a developer, most of the development tools I use are compatible with Windows 10.

For various productivity tasks, browsing, and working with tools like data warehouses, I find Windows 10 to be a suitable choice. 

We use Windows 10 because it lets us use the latest Windows technology and applications. For example, we work with Power BI, which doesn't work on Linux. It allows us to make the most of all the features in the Microsoft technology environment.

Windows has significantly improved its performance and stability over the past seven or eight years. In the earlier days, issues were more challenging to resolve, but nowadays, most problems are easily fixed.

I'm currently facing an issue on Windows 10 related to pop-up notifications. The problem is identifying which specific application requires attention when the taskbar notifies about an important event. For instance, when working on an application, the taskbar appears with a notification but doesn't indicate which application needs attention. I have to minimize the active application windows to identify it, which can be inconvenient.

The product is stable as long as you use the compatible hardware. 

The solution is scalable. It allows us to use Linux and Docker for Windows. Previously, to use a Linux platform on Windows, we relied on VMware or Oracle virtual machines. Now, with the stable Windows Subsystem for Linux, there's no need for virtual machines.

Previously, we used Linux in its various GUI and desktop versions alongside Windows. However, we primarily use Windows due to limitations in functionality, especially with applications like Microsoft Office. Some colleagues use Mac OS, but I prefer using Windows.

Installing Windows 10, including all the updates, takes around four to six hours. It is an easy process. We first need a bootable USB drive containing the Windows ISO license to install the product. After booting from the USB drive, the installation process begins, prompting us to choose new installation, license activation, and user account setup options. The installer guides us through configuring settings like time zone, date, language, and creating a new user account with a password. Once the base software is installed, the system reboots, and users can activate the license or register within a specified time frame.

The tool's deployment was done in-house. 

We need to pay for the licensing through Microsoft partner. We benefit from an education license in the Philippines, which provides us with a better deal compared to Windows licenses for retail stores.

I rate the solution a ten out of ten. 

I am using Windows 10 to run applications that I can learn from, such as Tableau, Power Applications, and Power Automate.

When comparing Windows 10 to Windows XP, Windows 10 is much better. The appearance is very good.

The performance of Windows 10 is a bit slow because it takes a lot of time for loading. That is a concern because the same 4GB Ram laptop, which I used with Windows XP and other versions, has been faster than Windows 10.

I have been using Windows 10 for approximately two years.

In my organization, we have more than 10,000 people using Windows 10.

When I have issues with my personal computer there are options in the Windows itself, to report back to the organization. It has other support options, such as recovery. Since I bought the computer from Dell they are able to help me in some places but other places they cannot. Windows 10 does become slower in comparison to Windows XP. 

With respect to my organization, most of the issues are taken care of by the IT department.

I was using a computer with Windows XP and I did not have a choice to switch to Windows 10. It is what came with the laptop I purchased. If you want to purchase a computer right now you will receive a computer with Windows 11 preinstalled. 

I've not installed Windows 10 because I received it preloaded in the system from Dell.  However, I did install Windows XP, but I have not installed Windows 11 yet.

Windows 10 came preinstalled on my laptop, I am not sure the price.

I would recommend Windows 10 to others if their systems have more than 8GB RAM. If anyone is having 4GB or less, then Windows XP is much better. However, Windows XP is now obsolete, it's not in the market right now.

I rate Windows 10 a six out of ten because of the speed issues. It takes a lot of time to load, especially if it's on lower RAM, such as 4GB RAM, it's quite slow.

In my organization, we have developers using mostly Mac systems, for databases we use Linux systems, and everyone else is using Windows 10 systems. We are using Windows 10 as a general operating system.

Windows 10 is user-friendly and easy to use, these are the most valuable features.

The security needs to improve.

We have been using Windows 10 for approximately nine years.

The stability of this solution depends on many variables, such as the type of usage. If you using it at a bare minimum you will not find any issues, but if you are installing multiple applications and running them at the same time you could run into some problems, such as system underperformance. However, it can depend on the hardware you have installed. You cannot specifically say how the operating system performing without having the other details about configuration and hardware, there are too many variables involved that might be unrelated to the operating system performance. 

When comparing Windows 10 and Linux, Linux is more sophisticated when it comes to security and being stable, making it the ideal choice for many servers today.

We have approximately 140 people using Windows 10 systems in my organization.

We do not typically immediately reach out to contact Microsoft technical support. Most of the issues that we face can be solved online. There are quite a lot of articles and help material online where there are many people providing guidance or support for most issues that you encounter. This is not related to commercial technical support.

We have not experienced a lot of trouble with our desktop systems. We only contact technical support on the server level related to security.

We were previously using Windows 7.

The installation is straightforward. You can do it without knowing anything about the solution. However, the difficulty can also depend on the use cases. If someone wants to add features to it or maybe split the hardware's constraints it can get a little technical.

The full installation takes approximately 30 minutes.

I did the implementation of the solution.

I have evaluated Mac and Linux operating systems.

In the market, we are limited to Microsoft, Linux, or Mac. Mac is only on Apple and all their propriety products and Linux is mostly for database servers. Microsoft is a market-leading company and provides a very user-friendly environment in Windows 10 and I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate Windows 10 a nine out of ten.

I used Windows 10 on my system. My office system uses Windows 11.

Microsoft Edge came with Windows 10. I can access features like games much better than on Windows 8.

In the beginning, the system froze a few times.

I used Windows 10 for three years before moving to Windows 11.

Although I experienced that blue screen of death twice, it stopped happening when the upgrades came.

Windows 10 is a stable product.

The initial setup is very easy. I've been using Windows as far back as XP or 98, so I'm very familiar with Windows Office and everything else.

Windows 10 is cheap. Microsoft Office came with Windows 10, and that's a very good package.

I switched to Windows 11 after reading reviews online. It comes with more features.

I recommend Windows 10 because it's easy to use and has a nice display. It has an editor, because of which I'm able to type better and all of that. Compared to the other OSes, I think Windows 10 is the best, even better than 11.

I rate Windows 10 a ten out of ten.

I use the built-in features of the solution. I utilize the resources to simulate different types of labs. Virtualization is another primary use case. 

The built-in Recorder helps record and store sessions that can be used afterward. The product is more user-friendly than its competitors, like Linux.

The updates keep coming in, and the frequency of Windows Updates can be reduced. Sometimes there are bugs. This makes some features not work correctly. Applications in Windows 10 also hang sometimes. 

In the future, they should check thoroughly for bugs before releasing the update. 

I have been using the solution for three to four years. 

I would rate the stability an eight out of ten. The updates and patch management need to be improved. 

I would rate the scalability a nine out of ten. 

85% of my bank uses it. 

I would rate technical support a seven out of ten. Sometimes we take help directly from Microsoft, otherwise from local vendors. It takes a long time for a ticket to get processed.

The initial setup is quite simple. 

The product is reasonably priced; it's neither too high nor too low. 

One licensed Windows 10 product can be obtained for multiple PCs; this is a significant advantage over competitors. 

I would overall rate this product a ten out of ten. This is mainly due to its superior user-friendliness. For Windows 10, local support can be found easily in my area, which is another reason for my rating. 

Windows 10 is an operating system that everyone in our organization uses.

All the features are critical. The stability of the solution is better than that of its previous versions. It has been stable in most cases. The new security features are very good.

The product has some bugs. The performance must be improved.

I have been using the solution for a few years.

I rate the stability an eight out of ten.

We have up to 1500 users. All our systems have the solution installed. We do not have any plans to increase the number of users.

We’re in touch with the support team for updates, minor changes, and modifications to the operating system.

The setup is very easy. It takes about 15 minutes. To install the solution, we must plug in the USB, turn on the system, and go through the installation process. It gets installed easily. There is no technicality.

I can deploy the product myself. All it needs is a USB plug-in.

Break-even can be achieved in about a year and a half. It's a stable operating system. It allows us to use all the peripherals and accessories.

Windows 10 is a one-time purchase.

We've dealt with Microsoft Volume Licensing and OEM licensing. It is worth using Windows 10. It is better than Windows 8. There aren't many other options. Overall, I rate the product an eight out of ten.

Some basic Office applications are based on Microsoft Office 365 nowadays. However, we use special tools like VMware Workstation to do things like play with some samples of visualizer and visualize versions of your products as simulators. With some tools, it's necessary to connect to our remote or local lab and make small presentations like a demo of our solutions for customers. I'm not a software developer, so I'm not experienced with stuff like that. I'm not also experienced with using any cloud services besides Office 365.

The user interface is somehow good for me because it's based on web design and all this user-friendly stuff. It allows for faster selection of applications and it streamlines research functions, like obtaining that information file or something like this. One useful feature of Windows 10 is its connectivity with mobile devices and ability to make cableless connections with external devices. Windows 10 has made some improvements in performance, so it's not consuming hardware resources like Windows 7. 

It's hard to define how Windows 10 could be improved. I've been using Windows for years, and every time I see progress, so I'm focused on the positive instead of the negative. But it's time-consuming to struggle with some issues. I don't think it's worth the time I have to spend fixing or finding something. 

In terms of ways to improve Windows 10, I would like more interface options for this desktop. Right now, it's like a web design network with all these icons from Microsoft. The work area is selected by news collected from the outside, with some application set but not the full scope of the application I've installed. So it would be nice to have the option to switch between this design and the previous one. Working with Windows 7, I preferred to use commands or applications like in the old version. So it would be nice to be able to change the look and feel of the design. 

And, of course, we are always talking about the security of private and professional data. So I hope for more protection against ransomware attacks. I expect that this will be included in a software update. Of course, I know that it could be covered by separate antivirus software, but I think that Microsoft has something like this included for home use, private use, and professional use. A company might accept the level of security offered by standard Microsoft software. It could be fine, but if not, there is always the option of buying something additional. Microsoft's security rules are a disadvantage, but then again, I can expect every company to use something like that.

I've been using Windows 10 for a year or more. We updated our internal setup from Windows 7 to Windows 10. It was a time-consuming process.

I have no complaints about Windows 10's stability and experience. Everything works perfectly and is acceptable at the level of observation. So I there haven't been too many problematic cases I would like to talk about. 

Our delivery and support team takes care of our customer's products sometimes. Based on our partnership with Microsoft, which is gold level, we have to contact the support team at Microsoft. But every issue coming from using Windows 10 and so on is always fixed by our internal IT service team. So we have no direct contact with Microsoft with any problems like that.

If you have a Plus Drive installed on your device, installing Windows 10 is pretty convenient. However, I don't have any experience with the setup because I'm using a standard corporate computer, which our internal IT staff prefers. So I am not involved in the process of installing Windows 10 from scratch. I get a ready-to-use laptop with some personalizations. I have to log in and use the correct password to make all corporate resources available on my device. However, in my personal life, I have seen progress with installation from version 7 to version 10. Maintenance on Windows 10 is done by a separate technical team that reacts to tickets and requests for support. They also make recommendations to fix something that is not working correctly. Sometimes they'll help when there are issues with corporate rules, like security, privileges, and accessing Active Directory. Also, when there was a migration happening in the background, like migration from Office 2016 to Office 365, there were some problems with migrating smoothly. We had to wait until our IT team fixed some features that were not accessible.

Microsoft's licensing strategy is constantly changing. In a few years, we might only be using cloud versions for the Microsoft operating system. That's my prediction. So I'm not expecting a general improvement on that. For example, I know the average price of a standard operating system for home use, but I see the enterprise version much more expensive than the version for home users. I'm usually buying products for private use based on my company's different price preferences. So I have no billing platform included in the device. I'm not buying hardware and software separately. I'm always buying this combined version that includes the hardware and software.

I rate Windows 10 eight out of 10. Windows is dominating the market. But, of course, everyone knows about Microsoft operating systems. However, some people who have had a bad experience are switching to Linux versions or Macros systems. But I don't think it's necessary to recommend and promote software like that because Microsoft is one of many creating software for home use and professional use with end-user devices.

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.
