Windows 10 Reviews

I deployed the solution for some of the end users. I also use it for communication purposes and run different pieces of software on it.

With Windows 10, unlike the earlier versions, you have Defender, which is an added advantage. You don't have to go for an antivirus solution separately since it is inbuilt and works. Also, since one can manage networks or domains, it's easier to manage clients.

The solution's updates are an area where the solution needs to improve. The updates are a painful thing at times because they are done without testing before the releases. I have to block the updates and Windows patches. 

Speaking about the features I want to see in the future, right now, the updates which are on Windows are not deleted. It occupies a huge space in terms of GB unless manually removed from the system. They used to remove the older versions, which were not applicable, but now this is not happening. It just occupies space in the system.

I have been using the solution since its launch.

Stability-wise, I rate the solution a six out of ten since sometimes it causes some trouble.

It's quite okay with upgrades, but otherwise, it automatically slows down the machine. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a six out of ten. We use Windows 10 on a daily basis in our organization.

Some of the logs we sent were accepted, while others do not identify the actual issue or agree with the issue. I rate the technical support a seven out of ten.

Neutral

I previously used some other solutions, and I switched to Windows 10 because of the Microsoft's input.

The initial setup was okay. The deployment is fine. As long as you have an image, it can be done at a fast pace. The deployment can be done in thirty minutes to an hour.

On a scale of one to ten, where one is the lowest price possible and ten is the highest, I rate its pricing five since it's quite overpriced.

I would urge others planning to use the solution to watch out for problems. With every update, there's something that is coming into its bundle, and as you analyze, it becomes difficult to run a larger number of operations.

The updates are not user-friendly because they do not show that they will not be removed from the system automatically like the previous versions of Windows. It has to be done manually. The space it occupies is too much, especially in terms of GB.

I rate the overall solution a seven out of ten.

My primary use case is for running my personal and business applications. I use it on my personal machine as well as on the company machine. This solution is deployed on-premises. 

Windows 10 has many features, all of which are pretty good. There's even an upgrade now, but I still haven't upgraded it yet. I can't remember what extra features Windows 10 offers compared to the previous version, but I have been pretty comfortable with Windows 10. It's easy to use. 

I like the way it is already, I don't think I would improve anything about Windows 10. The licensing price could be cheaper, though. 

I have been using Windows forever, but I've been using Windows 10 for the past few years. 

This solution is stable. 

This solution is scalable. 

I have never contacted Microsoft's technical support. 

I hadn't used any other operating systems before implementing Windows. 

It's been years since I installed Windows 10, but the process was pretty straightforward. It didn't take very long and I didn't face any hurdles. The installation can be done by yourself. 

I implemented this solution myself. 

The licensing price could definitely be cheaper. I pay a yearly license for Windows 10. 

I rate this solution a 9.5 out of 10 and would definitely recommend it to others. 

The solution is used as the main operating system for end-user clients.

The solution's most valuable features are virtual desktops and continuous updates. The Microsoft Edge browser is also okay, but I prefer other browsers over it. The solution's user portal is better.

There are some risks involved in integrating third-party solutions with Windows 10. The solution's identity and access management could be better. There are some compliance blind spots regarding security threats in Windows 10.

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

I also use Windows 11. You already have encryption on Windows 11, but you need something like BitLocker for encryption on Windows 10.

It's very important to have a good 360-degree security solution to cover the risks associated with integrating third-party solutions. It's important to have a good endpoint solution and a good firewall. It's also important to have good patch management and asset management. I would recommend the solution to other users.

Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

I use Windows 10 for my private purposes, even after buying Windows 11, because this is the usual path for using the operating system generated on the client side.

Windows 10 Professional or Enterprise is a very robust operating system for the client side.

The solution's pricing could be a little cheaper.

I have been using Windows 10 from the beginning, of course, when it appeared on the market.

I rate the stability of the latest version of the solution ten out of ten.

The solution’s initial setup is very easy.

Depending on how you use it, the installation can take 50 minutes in some cases. In an unusual case, the solution might be installed in half an hour.

If you're using older hardware, the deployment will be a much longer process. The process is really easy if you use hardware matching the driver requirements from the Windows 10 environment. You have to manually input the information about the PC's name and set up the region, settings, clock, etc. After that, you must install the driver.

The solution provides a very high security framework that benefits our organization. I have been lucky to have the solution's compatibility with my client's hardware, such as laptops and notebooks. So, the deployment process is very easy. Windows 10 is a very straightforward, capable, and reliable operating system. However, it will be outdated in the future.

Overall, I rate the solution ten out of ten.

We use Windows 10 as a client to run all the software we develop in-house. It is a development platform for the software we're developing here. We also use it for web and email. 

Windows 10 is ubiquitous, so everyone knows how to use it. 

I would like the updates to be less intrusive. It would be great if Windows could update without restarting. They've made some improvements in that regard, but there is still some room to do better. I would still like monthly updates, but it would be nice if I didn't need to tell everyone to log out and save their work because their computer needs to be rebooted. 

I could also do without the advertising and notifications in the default browser. It's annoying. One of the first changes we make is to switch off those extra distractions that it tries to put in there.

I have used Windows 10 since it came out. 

Setting up Windows is straightforward. We usually buy it preloaded, so there isn't much to do. 

Windows 10 is included with the computers we buy, so I'm unsure how that breaks down. When I worked for an OEM years ago, I know that OEM licenses were quite cheap, but I don't know if that has changed since then. 

I rate Windows 10 nine out of 10. My suggestion to people who plan to use Windows 10 is to disable all the notifications and advertising that are enabled by default, like the news, weather, etc. 

It is deployed on both cloud and on-prem.

I use a computing device, but it can be used for multiple functions and multiple aspects.

The two main features that I have found valuable are its ease of use and that we are used to using Windows.

In the next release, I would like improvement regarding stability plus performance.

I have been using Windows 10 for a couple of years.

Windows 10 is stable. Clearly there are multiple vulnerabilities, multiple issues that happen, but otherwise it works.

Windows 10 is scalable. We have around 3 to 4,000 people using it. And we have 20 - 25 admins or managers responsible for it.

The support is okay.

I previously tried Windows 7.

It was a straightforward installation. It took 15 - 20 minutes.

You can install it by yourself or with the help of the consultant\integrator.

It offers a yearly and a monthly subscription. Yearly is the one we are using.

On a scale of one to ten, I would give Windows 10 an eight.

We use Windows 10 for personal applications and for selections of networking for our clients.

It's very simple to use.

I would like to see the price reduced.

I have been using Windows 10 for approximately three years.

Windows 10 is a very stable product. We don't have any issues with the stability of this solution, now with the new patches that have been added.

As Windows 10 is an operating system, there is no need to scale it.

We use Windows 10 for both technologies, personal and for clients.

We have approximately 2,000 users in our organization who are using this solution.

We have not contacted technical support for Windows 10. We have not had the need to contact Windows technical support. We have not had any issues.

We have always been using Windows. We have been upgrading as Windows evolves. We used Windows XP, then Windows created Windows 7, 8, and now 10.

It was easy to install Windows 10. It took approximately 30 minutes to install.

We have a team of six administrators to maintain this solution.

I completed the installation myself. I did not use the help of a consultant or integrator.

They could provide better pricing for the licensing.

It's a one-time payment when you purchase the system.

I would definitely recommend this solution to others.

I would rate Windows 10 an eight out of ten.

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.
