Windows 10 Reviews

I use Windows 10 as a normal desktop environment.

The tool supports multiple windows, which helps organize tasks. I find Windows 10 quite stable compared to earlier versions. The Windows Defender is much better for security, though it may not be suitable for company use. Personally, it's okay for me.

I don't face major challenges with Windows 10. My main concern is how the system protects against hackers, especially after recent reports of systems being accessed without user knowledge. For improvements, since Microsoft plans to stop supporting Windows 10 soon, it might be better to focus on Windows 11. However, if I had to suggest improvements for Windows 10, I'd recommend including convenient features like those in Apple products. For example, Apple's easy printer setup without needing to install drivers.

I have been using the product for six years. 

It's very easy to scale to more machines. I'd rate the scalability a ten out of ten. My company has 200-300 users. 

Setup is very easy for me - I'd rate it a ten out of ten. Even for people who don't know much, it's quite easy. It takes about 10-15 minutes to set up.

The price is quite expensive for our currency. A perpetual license costs around 300 dollars.

There was a recent issue regarding vulnerabilities where hackers could access desktops remotely through firmware. This wasn't fully dependent on Microsoft, as it involved browsers like Chrome and Explorer. Once identified, the issue was resolved quickly.

I advise those wanting to use Windows 10 to go for Windows 11 instead.

Overall, I'd rate it a nine out of ten.

I use Windows 10 in my workplace as it is our main operating system.

I have never considered which features I found most valuable in Windows 10. At my workplace, we use Windows because we have no other choice.

Microsoft needs to stop experimenting with different options and settle down, especially when it comes to Windows 10. If something broken in Windows 10 gets fixed in a year or two by Microsoft, then it gets broken again in the next update.

In Windows 10, you can access a particular setting page in two clicks. In Windows 11 eleven, you get to the same setting page you used in Windows 10 after four or five clicks. When Microsoft comes up with Windows 12, it will be six to eight clicks, meaning that with each update, it gets complicated.

After Windows 95, Microsoft changed everything drastically. If you were a user of an Apple computer and you also used macOS 10 around 15 years ago, you may have seen how Apple comes up with new versions, but it still looks the same. The person who was using macOS 10 can easily use the latest macOS. If you pick a person who has used Windows 95 and you give him a computer with Windows 11, he will be lost. Windows 10 and Windows 11 are not different from each other, but Microsoft keeps adding differences. If you go back into the past, then you will see that five years ago, there were a lot of differences between Windows 8, Windows 8.1, Windows 10, and Windows 11. In general, most of the time, the updates in Windows 10 bring problems instead of solving them, making it an area requiring improvements.

I have been using Windows 10 for seven to eight years.

Stability-wise, I rate the solution a seven out of ten.

Windows 10 is an independent operating system running on a single computer.

Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a seven out of ten.

In our organization, there are 300 computers, out of which 200 computers would be on Windows 10 and 100 computers would be on Windows 11.

The solution's technical support is good. I rate the technical support an eight out of ten.

Positive

I have experience with Windows 10 and Windows 11.

The product can be deployed in about half an hour.

The solution is deployed on an on-premises model.

My organization gets Windows 10 for free with our computers.

Windows 10 is an okay operating system that is mature. The best thing about Windows 10 is that you can run anything on it.

I rate the overall solution a seven out of ten.

I am working with Aras PLM.

We are using Aras PLM, Windows 10 and Jira.

Teams has very good features.

We are using soft phones.

We are using Aras PLM, Windows 10 and Jira.

Teams has very good features.

It is more comfortable and it is widely used everywhere in India. Almost 80-90% of people are using Windows 10.

Microsoft Firewall is activated, but no other edge tools.

There is an issue with using Outlook, as you have to acquire a license. The basic version offered by Windows 10 does not allow direct preview of emails, requiring downloads instead. If they could allow email preview in the free version without downloading, it would be beneficial.

I have been working with this solution for the last five months.

The system is very fast and quick.

I have never needed customer service support.

Neutral

I have not used any previous solutions.

I have researched Oracle Agile PLM and Aras Innovator on my website, but feedback is not yet available for these solutions. I was wondering about other tools, particularly in the area of testing or test management.

PLM is the main focus.

Aras PLM is a US-based company that can be found through searching.

The company name is spelled A R A S.

I rate this solution 9 out of 10.

I use it for running various applications, like Office 365.

Compared to earlier versions I've used, it's certainly an improvement in some ways. I started with Windows way back, maybe even before 3.0, though that was the first widely used. 

I was already using Windows 2.0 during university, then was required to use 3.0, 3.1, and Windows 95. I skipped 98 and switched to XP. 

So, it's hard to pinpoint a specific "business case" for Windows 10. There's Linux as an alternative, but compatibility with the applications I use just wasn't there, making it a poor choice for me. In that sense, it's mostly just a one-way street.

Stability can be an issue. I have to restart it every two days. And the boot time is quite long. My laptop's old, has no SSD, and is just a traditional Winchester. Had desktops with Windows 11 and SSDs, much better performance. But hardware limitations on my current laptop lead to stability and response issues.

It's more like the whole reinstall every two years thing. It makes cleaning a pain. Performance improves significantly after a fresh install, then slowly deteriorates as I add more programs.

But my biggest concern with Windows 10 is actually bigger than my situation. I'm replacing my laptop anyway, but I read that Windows 10 support ends in a year or so. And with hardware limitations, many other computers won't run Windows 11. So it's not just me. A lot of people with decent, still-working Windows 10 machines will lose support and be unable to switch to 11. 

This will be a significant problem for individuals and institutions. Large companies with thousands of computers don't replace them every three years, and they might face issues with many computers unable to run Windows 11 and lacking support for 10.

I've been using Windows 10 for several years. It's the core system on my current laptop. So, I've been using it for over five years, basically since its introduction.

Windows 10 is definitely more stable, not like the earlier versions with those constant blue screens when the system crashed. I've been using it for years and maybe seen the blue screen only two or three times. So, it's really stable.

The problem isn't the stability, but the performance definitely degrades over time.

If you add more RAM, Windows will use it and provide better performance. But otherwise, it's not easy to interpret scalability in this context.

I work in a small organization. Maybe 10 to 15 people use Windows 10, but individually not centrally managed.

We get support mostly from internet searches. Windows has some built-in diagnostics for network issues, printing problems, and so on. Sometimes, the analysis results or even failures from these tools lead you to different support homepages. I've found some helpful answers there, but it's not always clear whether it's an official Microsoft page or just a general support site. 

On the other hand, Windows is so widely used that almost every problem has been encountered by someone else. There are usually multiple solutions or workarounds available online. So, in that sense, the support is pretty good. I've never actually had to contact a technical support rep directly.

The full setup takes about an hour and a half. Naturally, installing all your programs after that can take two days, but that's a separate issue.

The process was pretty simple. I prepped an installation flash drive with the necessary components from the Windows homepage, stuck it in, and the setup started. 

I gave some parameters and entered my license key, and that was pretty much it. There were some choices along the way, but they were all straightforward.

It was on-premises for me, but I know larger organizations can deploy Windows remotely with disk images or over the network. That's a different process, though.

I paid for a license, but there's no monthly fee. It was a one-time purchase, maybe around $100, with my laptop. Not a huge expense.

I didn't evaluate other options. When Windows 10 came out, I was still on Windows 7, and I switched pretty quickly within a year. Didn't really explore alternative options. I did try Linux as a possibility, but the software I use isn't compatible.

Overall, I would rate the solution a nine out of ten. I would advise not to install too many unnecessary programs because it will definitely slow down Windows, especially those with resident components running in the background.

From Windows 98 to Windows 10, there were various issues, however, Windows 10 has significantly improved. It processes information more quickly, and when using mapping software such as QGIS or ArcGIS, the system remains stable, especially when handling heavy files.

There were some issues with Windows 10, however, I cannot specify them at this moment.

The system frequently attempts to update Windows 10 software, which significantly slows down my laptop computer. Though they fixed many issues for Windows 10, the update problem has become worse.

When running mapping software and attempting to load an image, the system sometimes reboots unexpectedly. This might be partially due to my laptop, but it shouldn’t happen with 16 GB of memory.

I am currently using Windows 10. I attempted to use Windows 11, however, it was not compatible with my needs.

The overall experience with Windows 10 is acceptable. Microsoft should maintain Windows 10 in its current state without making significant changes.

It's generally used for managing the laptop. Its UI is very easily accessible, so I can manage all the things easily across many platforms. 

Secondly, Microsoft provides support for a lot of things. So it's generally easy for you to access anything on Windows as compared to Linux.

I don't exactly remember if this level of encryption was included in which operating system of Windows, but that's a great feature that you can encrypt the whole disk. So BIOS level password is another great security feature that protects the laptop with a BIOS password when you try to log in. So I think that these two features are really good: file-level encryption and then BIOS-level encryption.

The main benefit of Windows operating system is that it's really easy to use. So, when it's easy to use, you can definitely teach anyone easily. It's easy to tell anyone things who is not linked to the operating system.

It's been only one month since I have switched to Windows 11, and I haven't been using it very much as compared to Windows 10. However, one main feature that I would like to highlight is the amendment of CMD in Windows 11. You can now access many things from the command line and install a lot of features from there as well. 

Secondly, many new updates are being installed, which allows you to access things easily.

I have used voice recognition as well. That's a great feature. And one more thing, the integration of Copilot, that's a really amazing thing.

Windows 11 has Copilot built into the Windows operating system by default.

There is room for improvement in the troubleshooting feature, which they have integrated into Windows; I think they should make it easier and more efficient to troubleshoot any issues. 

Even when you run a troubleshooter, it is not able to identify the real problem. So, I need to Google that problem and then find a solution on YouTube. Instead, we should be able to just write that on the community platform, and we are able to help. Troubleshooting can easily identify the real cause of the problem. I think that was not present in Windows 10.

I have been using it for a very long time. It's almost since it was launched. So, from the release.

Windows 11 support is really good compared to Windows 10. But when I was using Windows 10, their support was a bit poor. They were not completely poor—their community is working a lot—but their support was a bit poor compared to Windows 11.

Neutral

Windows 10 is easy to use, but as compared to the other operating system, it is not free. Linux is open source, and Linux is completely free.

The main difference between Windows 7, 10, and 11 is that Windows 11 has CMD installed. So you can easily access things from the command line as well. You can install many things from the command line as well. And now the GUI is relatively easier as compared to Windows 10. 

Secondly, the regular updates which Windows 10 and 11 give you. So now I don't know that Windows 10 is being supported by Microsoft because now I'm using Windows 11. But the main thing is that your updates are getting installed easily and automatically. So there is no worry about your operating system being hacked by anyone. They are automatically patching all the vulnerabilities in the system.

Even if I compare Windows 10 and Windows 11, it is really easy to configure and maintain.

Overall, I would rate it a seven out of ten. 

We have embedded our tool in Windows 10, so we do R&D through that for security integration with BitLocker.

There is no difficulty in integrating our tool with Windows 10.

Windows Teams has been upgraded recently, and the calendar has issues in it. The Teams calendar is experiencing problems, and that is the only issue I personally have.

We have been working with Windows 10 for the past one year.

It is quite easy to set up Windows 10, as our tech team looks after this, and since we are an OEM, we have many tech specialists. The deployment and running of tools is not an issue.

I have not faced any issues regarding stability or performance; any issues we have are from our end.

The support from Microsoft is lukewarm.

Pricing is an issue, as we have been looking for an AWS service that is cheaper. I have been looking at some other tools, and that will happen in the next month since we have our licenses for this month.

We use Gmail and Outlook a lot, and other than that, we use Drive and nothing else.

We do not work with Cortana voice commands.

You just have to ask for permission. I do not handle all this.

Outlook works for us, and we mainly use Outlook and Google, and it is working well for us.

It is the time thing itself, because we have time-intensive activities, so time zone differences affect us. This is me just trying to frame what my tech team has told me.

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

I work in a BPO call center, where we only use third-party client tools to make calls. The operating system is just the best. We have nothing much more to do with the operating system, as all the work is done in the tool only.

The solution's most valuable feature is the Snip and Sketch tool in Windows 10, which is a screenshot product.

Sometimes, the tool gives a blue screen without any reason, and then I have to restart the system. It is an area where improvements are required. If the system is running or when it is getting started a blue screen appears in between. It is not a regular issue.

Connecting to customer care takes too long, making it an area where improvements are required.

I have been using Windows 10 for three or four years.

My company contacted the solution's technical support, who claimed that the blue screen appeared because some hardware failure issue might be causing the problem. I rate the technical support a seven out of ten.

Neutral

The product's configuration and deployment phases are easy.

The time required to deploy the solution depends on the system hardware configuration and it would take a maximum of 20 minutes to complete.

The tool is used for some basic requirements, so I don't know how we can say that Windows 10 has helped to save money. It is the basic requirement that any tool offers to its users. If we use some extra firewall or antivirus tools, then we can give the rating, but currently, Windows 10 is used for basic needs.

The tool is cheaply priced. It is not very cheap, but one can manage its costs easily.

I use Microsoft Defender in Windows 10. When it comes to the security part of Windows 10, sometimes it fails to update. In our company, we are using another antivirus tool that offers total security. On top of Windows 10, I have a third-party antivirus tool.

One time, I tried using Windows 11, but I was not satisfied with it because it was very heavy for my system, and my system slowed down. Performance in Windows 10 is better than Windows 11.

I have not integrated the tool with other products.

There are no AI integration projects with the tool that my company handles.

I am satisfied with the tool. After Windows 7, Windows 8 was very bad. When Windows 10 was launched, it was very good and comparable to Windows 7. The upgraded features in Windows 10 are very good.

I recommend the tool to others.

I rate the tool a nine out of ten.
