Windows 10 Reviews

I have used Windows 10 in my multiple roles. I used to manage the operating system from an operational point of view. Later, I used to prepare a design document for the security configuration.

Windows 10 is a user-friendly solution that has good stability and performance.

Windows 10 should provide more frequent updates.

I have been using Windows 10 for many years.

I rate Windows 10 a nine or ten out of ten for stability.

More than 2,00,000 users use the solution extensively in our organization.

The solution’s initial setup is very straightforward.

The solution was implemented through an in-house team. Normally, we have a golden image used across the organization and then implement that.

I would recommend Windows 10 to other users.

Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

On-premises

I use Windows 10 in my company as an operating system to install applications, and then we use the applications to do what we need to do. The tool helps our company use browsers to surf the internet. With Windows 10, there are office tools that help users to work.

The tool's use increased productivity in our company because its users don't need any training to get started with the solution.

The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is easy to use, making it a user-friendly product.

Windows 10 has already been moved to Windows 11, but of course, they are more or less the same tool. Windows 10 can do something to make the tool available without the need to boot it. It takes a lot of time to boot Windows 10, and I want it to complete the booting process in two or three minutes. The search functionality in the product has glitches at times.

I have been using Windows 10 since its inception. I believe I have been using the product for six years.

It is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

It is a very scalable solution.

Around 8,000 users in my company use the product. Even if my company plans to expand the use of the solution, we will do it at a slow pace.

My company pays to get premium support from Microsoft.

My company has experience with Windows XP, Windows 7, Windows Vista, Windows 8, and Windows 11. My company kept upgrading to the latest version of the solution.

The product's initial setup phase was easy.

You need to have Windows OS in place for the product's deployment phase. If you're doing the deployment online, you can download the tool. If you don't take care of the deployment online, you need a bootable device.

The solution can be deployed in 20 to 30 minutes, depending on your internet strength.

Around five to ten people are required to take care of the product's deployment and maintenance phases.

The installation phase of the product can be managed by oneself.

I am not part of the vendor management team, so I don't know the product's price, but I know that my company has an enterprise agreement with Microsoft.

The performance of the product is good.

The product is easy to use and is straightforward.

I rate the overall tool a nine out of ten.

Windows 10 is the operating system for our entire organization.

Windows 10 provides integration capabilities and operational efficiency. The user interface, ease of deployment, and pricing are appreciated. It is the most common operating system, and people like it as there are no particular problems or issues.

The areas of firewall, antivirus, and similar features could be improved as they are not very strong.

I have been using Windows for many years.

No major problems; right now, deployment is pretty good.

I haven't faced any major downtime issues.

Our organization is quite satisfied with Microsoft's support.

Positive

Installation is pretty good with no big problems.

Windows is considered overpriced, especially given the normal software functionalities.

Apple products are much better, but they are more expensive.

I would prefer to remain anonymous. I would rate the overall solution an 8 out of 10.

On-premises

Other

I use Windows 10 for everything in my IT job. I use it for different tools, programs, and client software in a client environment. I also use it for emails, reading books, and watching movies—for work and entertainment.

I've used different Windows releases for many years, so it's the preferred operating system that I'm used to. I don't use the tiled interface that Microsoft introduced to unify laptop and mobile interfaces, but I find it inconvenient on laptops. I prefer the more classical, conservative interface like Windows 7 and XP.

I think there are too many unnecessary questions when installing the solution. I try to do it as quickly as possible, answering "no" or "I don't want" to most questions. I don't remember the questions because I just try to skip them all. I don't pay attention to particular questions as I don't need them. I know I'll get Windows at the end, which I need. Compared to years ago, the installation process now has many more non-technical questions about usage and family members, which I don't like.

I have been using the product for six to seven years. 

I've never directly contacted Microsoft support, but I've found answers on their support website through Google searches. 

I don't personally manage the security features; corporate administrators handle that. I don't control the default Windows security services. 

Our company plans to upgrade to Windows 11 in a few months, replacing Windows 10. I'm unsure about performance compared to Linux, but I'm more used to Windows, so I don't plan to switch.

We have OneDrive integration, but I don't use it much. For security and privacy reasons, I prefer keeping my files locally on hard disks rather than in the cloud. I also don't like distributing my files across cloud networks to make them more available to others.

I'd rate Windows 10 as eight out of ten. It's not a ten because of unnecessary features like the tiled interface and installation questions. Also, a controversial feature in Windows 11 would automatically take screenshots every few seconds, including passwords and secret information. After complaints, Microsoft made this feature off by default. They presented it as an advantage for retrieving lost information, but people feared privacy implications. That's why I don't rate it a ten. 

The solution is the back-end operating system for almost all my activities. I use it to connect with the client network and open the files in the system.

I like the file structure and the ability to search is valuable. 

I like the ability to create documents. The tool is user-friendly. The security is great. The vendor provides patches for the vulnerabilities in the solution. We have had no issues with the security. 

The newer versions are better than the older ones. I haven't personally faced any issues.

The product must provide AI features in future releases.

I have been using the solution for five years.

I rate the tool’s stability a ten out of ten.

The tool is highly scalable. We have almost one lakh users in our organization.

The support is good. We do not contact support often. Our in-house support team can manage the issues by themselves.

The IT team does the setup for us. One administrator is enough to deploy the product.

The ROI is good. We have got a 100% return on investment.

I rate the pricing a seven out of ten. The price could be improved. There are no additional costs associated with the product.

I have also used Windows 8. Windows 10 is more user-friendly, and the response time is higher. Windows 10 has more features. For high-volume operations, organizations prefer Linux.

Windows 10 is a good operating system for technical and IT personnel. It is a stable system. It has security features. It’s good for individual users. Overall, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.

It was the main operating system.

At the time, I used Windows 10, and it crashed a lot, but not as much as previous versions of Windows. That's one thing I can remember being a bit of a pain.

Moreover, I would like to see the little things like when you're working with Windows Explorer, you can open multiple tabs. It wasn't available in Windows 10.

I have been using Windows 10 since it's been out.

I would rate the stability a seven out of ten. I had some crashes. 

From a desktop perspective, it's scalable.

The customer service and support are good.

Neutral

It wasn't so much a decision as not having thought about it in advance. It's just when Windows 11 came out; it just felt natural, like progressing to a newer OS.

The initial setup was fairly straightforward. It took just about a day.

The pricing is about average.

Just decided to work with it because it's the one that's commonly used.

Overall, I would rate the solution an eight out of ten. It's easy enough to use, but sometimes it can be resource-hungry.

My use case is related to the corporate office. 

It is user-friendly, and its features are good. It's user-friendly, and you can toggle between all your UI and features, which is good.

There is a little bit room for improvement in UI. I would just recommend that Windows 10 focus more on security. Windows 10 should update patches promptly as they become available for normal security purposes to prevent hacking and other issues.

I have been using it for more than ten years. I am a Microsoft lover. I've been using it since Windows XP, so it's been quite a few years. 

Scalability depends on the customer's requirements, like storage needs. It's flexible. 

If it's a virtual machine (VM), scalability is good. But for physical devices, it depends on the specific setup.

All of our employees, over 5,000, are using Windows products. The number has been increasing over the past 20 years. All of our users are on Windows systems.

Mostly engineers use Windows. Some use Linux, depending on client requirements. But Windows is used extensively.

 

The initial setup is very easy. It took less than half an hour. 

We didn't take anyone's help. I did it myself. I deployed it myself. 

The process is quite simple. Since CDs and all the necessary materials are available, you just follow the on-screen instructions. It's not complicated at all.

Windows 10 has a good subscription. But, Microsoft should work on making the OS more affordable to compete with other operating systems like Linux, which is known for its security and is used on many servers. They could also add new features and support more applications.

The licensing is yearly. I think the license is only available on a yearly basis. It would be nice if they offered some one-time license options where you could procure it for a lifetime.

It's not expensive or cheap, but it's in a mediocre range. They could make it a little bit cheaper.

Overall, I would rate the product an eight out of ten. The benefits are more related to software users or people who use Windows in organizations. It's easy to manage domains and configure it. That's a major benefit. 

Even if the OS gets corrupted or compromised, users can easily format the system and start over. That can be done very easily.

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 solution to run some applications. I also use it for normal browsing purposes.

This solution is easy to use. I am satisfied with the solution.

I want the solution's support to be improved. I want the support to be faster.

I have been using Windows 10 for a few years.

It's a stable product.

The solution's scalability is good. A lot of people are using the solution in my company. The usage of the solution is increasing day by day. Its usage may increase by 50% in the next two years.

I have contacted technical support. Though it is not as good as expected, it is reasonable.

The setup phase was straightforward. I deployed the solution in 2016.

The deployment process involves us taking the software from Forcepoint, then Hitachi personnel install it for the first time. After that, we upgraded it. We got it when it was Windows Version 1.0, and now we are at Windows Version 5.3. The upgrading part was done by my in-house team members.

For the deployment and maintenance, we need around 10-20 people.

For the first time, I implemented it with help from a Hitachi vendor.

I recommend the solution to smaller companies. But for larger companies, I cannot recommend it.

Overall, I rate the solution a six out of ten.

On-premises

I prioritize stability and performance, so I'm accustomed to the Windows interface. When I attempt tasks on Linux, it feels unfamiliar to me. Prolonged usage, familiarity should lead to efficiency.

Active Directory configuration for administrators makes it very easy to manage the environment in companies or universities at an enterprise level, making it possible to do everything.

The solution could improve the availability and compatibility of applications like Linux. Additionally, refining the file transfer process to ensure smoother transitions between different applications or systems would be beneficial. Lastly, ensuring seamless compatibility with common file formats like PowerPoint presentations could enhance user experience and efficiency on Windows platforms. It should have less frequent updates for the UI and threats. I started with Windows 95. Sometimes, there are changes in the user interface, so some services and tools are in different places than in the previous version. It takes some time to get used to it.

The solution should improve the Windows startup process by allowing users to customise which components launch at startup is a valid one. This would give users more control over their system's performance and resource usage. Implementing a feature that allows users to easily manage startup programs and services, perhaps through a dedicated settings menu or a startup manager tool, could address this issue. This way, users could disable or enable specific applications and services according to their preferences, optimizing their system's performance and startup time. Additionally, providing clear information about the impact of each startup item on system resources could help users make informed decisions about which components to enable or disable.

I have been using Windows for 15 years.

The product is stable.

I rate the solution’s stability eight or nine out of ten.

The solution’s scalability is good.

I rate the solution’s scalability ten out of ten.

The IT department, specifically the ICT team, provides support for this. Several people are involved. They manage the computer rooms, including installation and updates. A new installation is required every year because students change. I manage computers, adhering to organizational rules.

The initial setup is fast.

You need to pay for a license for Windows 10 every month.

Windows Defender aims to provide users with a secure computing experience, and it's advisable to keep your system updated to take advantage of the latest security enhancements.

I use a computer with only four gigabytes of RAM. There are ten nodes in my notebook. I plan to buy a new one with a huge RAM memory, but currently, only four gigabytes work in one node, while eight gigabytes work in an external computer. The system startup is very slow because the newest version of Windows requires more memory. Many services are running. It should change how Windows starts. Some components, like Skype, start automatically with Windows.

The solution's configuration is easy.

Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.
