Windows 10 Reviews

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 runs on some of my laptops and I personally have it on my own devices. 

What I like about Windows 10 is that it's a very intelligent OS. The interface is great. It's stable. 

I love the interface. It's very smart. The customization capabilities and all the advantages of Windows 10 are great. 

You have a lot of third-party software for the Windows environment. 

I have to use it for work, however, it's also a good choice for me as well to use it in my private time. 

Every new version is always an improvement on the last.

The initial setup is very straightforward. 

On a MacBook, in macOS, whatever application you have opened or are using, whether it's Apple or third-party or part of the OS or not, it doesn't matter, at any point you can always zoom in on the screen by just simply pushing a button and rotating the mouse scroll wheel for example, at any time. It's very smooth and fast zooming capabilities. You can zoom in very a lot or zoom in limited, whatever you need, at any part of the screen. I love that feature.

However, in Windows 10, the magnifier is really bad in comparison to the macOS zooming feature. I don't exactly remember what Apple calls it, however, the Windows magnifier is really bad. I tried also some third-party zooming tools and software for Windows, which were also really bad. This is something I really miss in Windows. In Windows, the magnifier really isn't that great.

I've basically used the solution since it was released. 

The solution is quite stable. there are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. It's reliable. 

I don't use technical support. It's my understanding that many private users don't. therefore, I can't really speak to how helpful or responsive they are. 

The initial setup is quite straightforward. A company shouldn't have any issues with the process. 

I work as a consultant for companies and it depends on the client. So sometimes I work in large environments, sometimes medium, sometimes small environments.

I'd recommend the solution to other users and companies. 

I'd rate the solution at a nine out of ten. I've been very happy with its capabilities.

I'm using it in my new company. I'm working in ISP right now and I'm using the laptop to connect to my applications. That's all I'm using it for. I'm using just virtualization services on my laptop. 

The solution is quite stable. The performance is good.

The product has been easy to use and simple to navigate.  

The solution has the capability to scale if necessary.

The initial setup is very easy.

I found that it slowed down my laptop a bit.

I find that, when we start the laptop, when we shut down and restart the laptop, it will take a bit of time to restart. It will take around one minute to restart in total, which feels like a long time. I need the time to be reduced. After replacing the SSD, it reduced the time a bit, however, it has not reduced the time that much overall.

The interface could be more friendly.

Some security features and some services are automatically getting switched on that is of no use. There should be an option that allows us to customize the services that we want to run or that we don't want to run.

I've been using the solution for seven years at this point. I use it on my laptop, and it is pretty old at this point.

The stability of the solution is good. it doesn't crash or freeze and there are no bugs or glitches. It's quite reliable.

The solution can scale. For what I use it for, it's served its purpose.

I'm not sure how many people actually use the solution, as I am new to the organization. I have it on my laptop and suspect more if not all of the employees do too.

The solution is not difficult or complex to install. It is very straightforward and simple. A company shouldn't have any issues with the setup process.

It only took about 40 minutes to set up and deploy the solution. It's pretty fast.

I installed the solution myself. I did not need the assistance of any integrators or consultants.

I have a home license that costs me around 1,000 rupees.

I'm just a customer and an end-user.

I'm using the solution from my laptop, not from the server.

I'm using the latest version of the solution. I'm constantly updating it.

I'd rate the solution at a seven out of ten, as I found that this particular generation made my laptop run a bit slow.

The solution is primarily used on all the local PCs in the company. It's also used for file sharing. Everything Windows runs on - the software and everything - runs on this.

The stability of the solution is quite good.

The performance, overall, has been excellent.

The product is user-friendly. Everyone finds it very easy to use for the most part.

The initial setup is quite straightforward.

The solution isn't overly scalable, from what I have witnessed. 

The security should be better on the solution.

Microsoft should work to make the product more flexible than it currently is.

The solution could be a bit expensive.

I've been dealing with the solution since it first came out. I can't recall the exact number of years. It's been a while.

The solution has been very stable so far. There are no bugs or glitches that I have seen. It doesn't crash or freeze at all. The performance is reliable. It's good.

I would not describe the solution as scalable.

We've used it since it came onto the market, however, the number of users is always changing. It's hard to describe the exact number of users.

I don't recall ever dealing directly with technical support. I can't speak to how helpful or responsive they are overall. I don't have direct contact to go off of.

I have some experience with Linux and have used Microsoft servers as well. In our organization, we have used the 2008 and 2016 versions of the server.

The initial setup is not difficult or overly complex. I found it to be rather straightforward. 

How long the deployment takes depends on if it's an upgrade from an older version or if it's upgraded from the hardware. It varies from one to two hours to one to two days. It depends on the hardware.

I handled the implementation completely by myself. For the installation, I did not use an integrator or consultant. It was taken care of in-house without outside assistance required.

We tend to pay for the license yearly and have 3-year agreements with Microsoft.

The solution could always be cheaper. If they lowered the price, it would be ideal for the customer base.

I mostly deal with items from an integrator's angle. I don't typically choose the solutions I deal with. That's decided largely by the client.

I typically deal with the latest version of the solution. I cannot speak to the exact version number.

I'd recommend the solution to other users and organizations.

I would rate the product at an eight out of ten.

My laptop is my work and life laptop. I'm a small business owner — my laptop is my lifeblood. More recently, with all this COVID stuff and remote learning, I had to repurpose a couple of my older laptops that deprecated out of my own personal use; I made them suitable for my kids to use for online education. That's what led me to upgrade them from Windows seven to Windows 10.

Everybody in my company uses Windows 10.

Our entire DevOps team works on Microsoft machines. I suppose there are hip little companies out there that use Apple products — that's ineffable to me. I think Windows has done a good job of addressing a lot of concerns around stability and computational inefficiency. It used to be the case that when you were doing more complex, high-intensity computing, you probably needed to be on Linux machines. I don't think that's as true as it used to be. I know smart people that use Apple, but it blows my mind.

My impression is that the security via windows defender is good enough that I no longer feel a need for another third-party security solution, which had always been the case in the past. I think that perception still holds true. I might be wrong about that, but prior to Windows 10, I always felt obliged to go with, Norton or McAfee as an additional anti-virus service. So, I began reading reviews and got comfortable with the idea that Windows Defender as a primary security system was good enough.

I don't like a lot of the features that are in it. I'm still somewhat archaic in that I like the form-factor of a traditional laptop: I don't want to touch my screen; I don't want it to behave like a tablet; I don't want it to bend in weird ways that I'm never actually going to use. There are a lot of features in Windows 10 that seem to be designed for it to be deployed on a Window's surface or something like that. I don't want that Cortana voice feature. I don't need to talk to my laptop. The phone application where you can integrate your smartphone with it so that you can directly view images that are on your phone, that feature sucks. Everything's tied-in via Bluetooth; it's kind of a pain in the ass because it hijacks your calls.

I have been using Windows 10 for roughly two and a half years.

Stability-wise, it's pretty good. I put it through its paces more than most people. Outlook doesn't integrate nearly well enough with Google Mail Servers. I think that's more than a Microsoft Office issue than windows. Still, when you host your mail on Google (I host with Google but I use Outlook as an email client), the integration is poor. Google or Outlook issue some new updates once every couple of months that make them play worse together for a week. It's kind of annoying. I think it's a conscious business decision though. I suspect foul play on both sides.

As I use Windows 10 for personal use, I can't comment on the scalability.

The only thing I've ever used Window's tech support for was to upgrade from Windows 7 to Windows 10, which you're able to do for free. Which is cool.

The initial setup is pretty straightforward — it's Windows. Microsoft is one of the largest, most valuable companies in the world despite not being ever seen as cool, newer, sexy.

My advice would be to go ahead and use Windows 10. Overall, on a scale from one to ten, I would give this solution a rating of eight.

The use case is that it is an operating system. People use Windows as an operating system. If you have a laptop at home, you may operate from it. We use desktop machines in our organizations and every user has a Windows operating system.

In terms of most valuable feature, it has all the features. We have to use the workforce application like Microsoft Office 365. We are dependent on the operating system.

In terms of what could be improved, I would say the security patches. The security patches do not come very frequently with the operating systems. So this requires a lot of improvement because the security patches only come every now and then.

We started using Windows 10 four to five years ago. Before that we had Windows 7.

Windows 10 is stable. There's no doubt about it.

The scalability is good. From one to five, I would give it a four. 

Right now we have 1,000 plus people working on it. 

The initial setup is straightforward.

I wold advise them to check out the licensing, which needs improvement. They should consider it because the Microsoft operating system works with Microsoft Office license. We have to pay separately. I think they should prepare a package, with the operating system and the M365 license combined and there should be a big, good, and attractive package for the customers. This would be an improvement on the product.

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

We made the transition to Windows 11 for our daily use, and we've found it to be a more efficient and lighter operating system. It appears to offer improved security and flexibility.

Among the most valuable aspects are the graphics tools and the integrated security features, with a notably effective firewall. It's a stable system overall.

Sometimes, upgrades may fail, leading to system crashes or other unexpected issues. There have been instances of performance concerns and occasional hiccups when dealing with Huawei's customized version of Windows 10.

I have been using it for four years.

I would rate its support services eight out of ten.

Positive

It falls within the average price range; it's not particularly cheap or expensive.

Overall, I would rate it seven out of ten.

I use Windows 10 to access my browser, make text documents, and run some personal applications.

Windows 10's most valuable feature is that it is quite intuitive and really easy to use compared to other operating systems.

Windows 10 should have less frequent updates.

I have been using Windows 10 for a few years.

So far, Windows 10 has been quite stable.

The initial setup of Windows 10 is quite straightforward.

Overall, I rate Windows 10 an eight out of ten.
