Straightforward installation
Pros and Cons
  • "I think that they have been doing a great job for a long time now when it comes to installation and user experience."
  • "Although the solution has been pretty nice to use, I have encountered certain bugs in the updates."

What is our primary use case?

I am using the latest version.

I use it on my personal computer for such things as emails and Youtube. What with the current pandemic, my kids use it for homeschooling. 

What needs improvement?

Although the solution has been pretty nice to use, I have encountered certain bugs in the updates. Other than that, things have been pretty good, although I do prefer Mac over Windows nowadays, having a couple years' experience with it in the past. I feel it to be a better operating system when compared with Windows.

While I consider Windows to be one of the most user-friendly operating systems and a market leader, the bugs which have plagued it's updates all along are problematic. This is why I choose to deduct a point from its rating. 

An example of a bug I encountered one or two months back involved the malfunctioning of certain keys on the laptop. When I removed the update, things reverted to normal. This can be a problem when one of the keys is part of your password. It necessitates use of the virtual keyboard, which is open to others. These are issues Microsoft should be addressing and should resolve prior to releasing the patch. 

QA needs to be improved. 

For how long have I used the solution?

I've been using Windows 10 for the last two to three years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

While the solution has been good, overall, the bugs I have come across have been an issue.

How are customer service and technical support?

I have never had occasion to contact technical support. As a technician, myself, I've managed to fix things on my own.

How was the initial setup?

The installation has been pretty straightforward. I think that they have been doing a great job for a long time now when it comes to installation and user experience.

A single installation takes no more than 25 minutes. 

What about the implementation team?

One can handle the installation on his own. 

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

Every time I've bought Windows, it came bundled with the laptop, so we are talking about a perpetual license. I'm not sure how this would operate in the retail market.

What other advice do I have?

I would, definitely, recommend this solution to others. 

I make personal use of it. 

I would not rate Windows 10 as a ten out of ten, but would give it a rating of nine.

User friendly, good compatibility, and simple installation
Pros and Cons
  • "Windows 10 is more user-friendly and compatible than the previous version, Windows 7."
  • "We are using Defender for security protection, which is part of Windows 10. We have been receiving a lot of spam mail, but when we speak to Microsoft, they claim the email is from a genuine website. However, inside that mail, there is a link, and when we click the link, it is spam. They need to improve their customer support when dealing with these types of issues."

We use Windows 10 as an operating system to run applications.

Windows 10 is more user-friendly and compatible than the previous version, Windows 7.

How are customer service and technical support?

However, inside that mail, there is a link, and when we click the link, it is spam. They need to improve their customer support when dealing with these types of issues.

We have two clients that are experiencing the same issue. It has been almost three months since we are have been discussing this problem with Microsoft and they have not provided a solution. 

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is very easy.

What other advice do I have?

I rate Windows 10 an eight out of ten.
