What is most valuable?

The ease of use and performance are two of my favorite features.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Windows 10 for around two years. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The solution is stable. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

I consider the personal use I make of the solution's Home Edition to be useful, for which scalability does not enter the equation.

In the past I used Windows 7. I switched as this relates to the updates.

How was the initial setup?

A stable solution which is easy to install, but could have better security and be more user friendly
Pros and Cons
  • "I would say that the solution is stable."
  • "The solution could be more secure and user-friendly."

What is our primary use case?

The solution has many uses. One can use it to run personal and business applications.

What needs improvement?

Although security was improved greatly from Windows 7, there are still many artifacts remaining from it and from Windows XP. There is still the control panel. Also, migration wasn't done to the new interface.

As such, the solution could be more secure and user-friendly. 

For how long have I used the solution?

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

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I would say that the solution is stable. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The solution is not scalable on its own, although it is if one puts it in a company. 

How are customer service and technical support?

I have not had experience with technical support. 

How was the initial setup?

The solution is easy to install and approximates CAVE. 

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

There are no surcharges beyond the licensing cost. 

The price is fine. 

What other advice do I have?

There are thousands using the solution in my organization.

I would definitely recommend the solution to others

I rate Windows 10 as a six or seven out of ten.

Easy to set up, easy to use, and very stable
Pros and Cons
  • "The ease of use has been great. It feels quicker and smoother."
  • "The pricing could be more competitive compared to other products of the same nature."

What is our primary use case?

I use the solution for anything from work to play, however, I mostly use it for work.

What is most valuable?

The ease of use has been great. It feels quicker and smoother.

The initial setup is very easy.

The stability is very good.

The scalability is good.

It's easy to find answers to any questions by researching online. 

What needs improvement?

I've heard that they have plans to take away the control panel, which may be a mistake unless they can improve the level of settings.

The pricing could be more competitive compared to other products of the same nature.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using the solution for about three years at this point. It's been a while. I've had some time with it. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The solution is quite stable. I recently had a problem with the computer in terms of the computer hanging a lot and probably hanging five times a day and even through that, it up fairly well. It's really stable compared to previous versions.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

With all the other Microsoft products you now have with Azure and what I'm currently looking at on Microsoft in June, scaling it company-wide and enterprise-wide would be very, very easy. With Microsoft, that scalability wouldn't be as much as the issue, even if you're not on site.

How are customer service and technical support?

I am in computer support and therefore I have figured it out or used manuals online or Google searches or so forth. Although I've got access to vendors and distributors and Microsoft themselves, it's usually easier just to figure it out quicker than trying to find somebody in support. Therefore, I don't tend to deal directly with technical support.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

I also work with Linux, which is less expensive. However, everyone is used to Microsoft products, and that's usually the easier route. 

How was the initial setup?

I found the initial setup to be very simple and straightforward. It's not complex or difficult.

The deployment is very fast. It might have taken 30 minutes or so to get everything up and running. 

What about the implementation team?

I can handle the solution myself. I've done it a million times. It's quite easy. Therefore, I don't need the help of any integrators or consultants. 

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

The solution is expensive, compared to Linux. It's kind of overpriced. 

It's just very expensive and the people resort to other means trying to get it which makes the problem worse.

What other advice do I have?

I do resell Microsoft products to the distributor, however, not directly from Microsoft.

I've got it on all my devices now. I don't have any older Windows now.

I'd recommend the solution to others. Windows 10 would probably be your safe go-to if you're looking for Microsoft. If you're looking for something else and can't afford the cost, then I would say Linux options may be ideal.

I'd rate the solution at an eight out of ten.

An intuitive operating system that's stable and easy to use
Pros and Cons
  • "I like that it's a very easy solution to use. It's also very easy to integrate it for our customers. It's a very intuitive operating system, and if they take their time to go through it quickly, they can use it without any support."
  • "It would be better if they brought back the easy way to create multiple sessions on Windows 10. It's very complicated for our customers, and most of the time they need to call us to do it because they know that we are in an office environment and most of the time the competence is not for only one person. To optimize the resources, they need to have several sessions on the same desktop or the same workstation. This makes it easier to manage and maintain. My recommendation is to bring back the easy way and have several sessions on the same operating system. The price could be better as well."

What is our primary use case?

Whenever we sell equipment with a personal computer, our customers request Windows 10, and we install it.

What is most valuable?

I like that it's a very easy solution to use. It's also very easy to integrate it for our customers. It's a very intuitive operating system, and if they take their time to go through it quickly, they can use it without any support.

What needs improvement?

It would be better if they brought back the easy way to create multiple sessions on Windows 10. It's very complicated for our customers, and most of the time they need to call us to do it because they know that we are in an office environment and most of the time the competence is not for only one person. 

To optimize the resources, they need to have several sessions on the same desktop or the same workstation. This makes it easier to manage and maintain. My recommendation is to bring back the easy way and have several sessions on the same operating system. The price could be better as well.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Windows 10 for five years or since it was available in the marketplace.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I personally think that it's a very stable operating system. We used to have several issues with other operating systems, but we don't have any issues with Windows 10. This is because the updates are made automatically, and we also have several ways to back up our work. Most of the time, I forget that there is any trouble on a laptop or the desktop.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

I think it's scalable. If you get legal licenses, you can move up to the new version without any problem. This is what we used to do.

How are customer service and technical support?

I contacted technical support once , and it was a very good experience.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is simple for me because I'm an IT integrator. However, I know that it's complicated for my customers just to install it. Most of the time, they don't want to learn how to do it. They always tell us to do it for them and to give it in ready-to-use mode.

What about the implementation team?

I'm an integrator and I install and deploy this solution. 

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

It's not cheap, and it's one of the inconveniences. Most of the time, we use group licensing, permitting us to install servers for three months. When we want to have personal licenses, it costs too much here in Senegal.

What other advice do I have?

I will recommend this solution because it's intuitive. Also, we have a Windows culture here, and people like to use it.

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