SQL Server 2019 Express On Windows Server 2022-Supported by cloudmint

My main use case for Windows 10  at work is to use it for applications, to run the applications or the .exe file, executable files. Sometimes I use IIS , Internet Information Services, for Windows level usage. I also use the command prompt sometimes, which we can only get in Windows.

For work purposes, I perform almost every day on Windows 10  the task of using command prompt most of the time and for using it as a localhost and for IIS  also.

In my opinion, the best features Windows 10 offers are that it is really easy to use and to apply each and everything whatever we are trying to do. Microsoft is providing so many things, and whenever we are trying to use Microsoft products, such as Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Office, and Microsoft Azure , they give us a proper guideline, and it is really very easy to use.

The particular feature I think stands out the most in Windows 10 is that it is easy to use. Most probably we can say the run command which we use to open the applications, to close or clear the cache files, and also the control panel. The control panel is also very easy to use to add and delete the programs, change the settings, and for multiple use cases.

In my experience, there is nothing to be improved inside Windows 10. It is already very well set up.

If I had to think of one thing that could be improved in Windows 10, it would be that we could make it a little faster.

I have been using Windows 10 for more than ten years in my personal life and in my work life also.

Windows 10 is totally stable in my experience.

Windows 10's scalability is really very scalable.

The customer support for Windows 10 is good, really nice. I appreciate them.

I would rate customer support a ten.

I previously used Linux as a different solution before Windows 10 for some of the projects because of the costing part, because it is open-source. There is nothing to buy. I chose it just because of speed and being open-source.

I have seen a return on investment with Windows 10 in that it basically saves our money. As for reducing the number of employees, it depends on the projects and the strength. It depends on the project also. We do not have to reduce employees. We have a lot of work to do on Windows, so we cannot say that we have to reduce employees or anything of that nature. However, it saves our money a lot by reducing the work time and workloads.

Regarding my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing for Windows 10, I am not able to tell you because it is with the business team or the sales team, the business analyst. I am just an engineer. I am able to tell you the technical things inside it.

Before choosing Windows 10, I only evaluated Linux which I previously mentioned. Nothing else.

Choosing Windows 10 over Linux has made my work or my team's work easier in that I can say Linux is fast, but as compared to Windows, Linux is really very complicated to use. Mostly we have to type commands for each and everything, such as for installing the application or for running any packages. However, in Windows, we can simply just open the browser, download anything, and we can install it by double-clicking only. We do not need any commands to run something or to do something.

If you are looking into using Windows 10, I would advise that you just have to clear out the cache first of all whenever you try to get into Windows. Secondly, I would tell you that if you are looking forward for a great response and easy-to-use operating system, you can go for Windows 10. That is really very useful.

As a developer, we can work collaboratively, and Windows 10  is also good from a UI perspective. I chose to rate it an eight because I have faced issues when updates come in, which can be annoying. Another main issue is background apps running, so that is why I rate it eight.

We are already using Windows 10  as our operating system, so we clone our repository in Windows 10 and develop using some Microsoft software by installing them in Windows 10 as well. Windows 10 mainly helps us in our day-to-day developing works and debugging.

Windows 10 is a good operating system for a developer in terms of device encryption, which means full device encryption, so it is a more secure way to keep our data protected. The Windows 10 antivirus systems are excellent, and it is a secure solution. It also gives a good user-friendly interface, so it is easy to work with, and we mainly use Windows Sandbox, which is a lightweight, isolated environment to safely run unknown apps.

Windows 10 helps our team collaboration more because we have OneDrive and SharePoint  for sharing our resources. OneDrive is for sharing common folders among team members and network shares folder. Windows 10 also helps us to use Microsoft Teams  for group chat, video calls, and we can share our resources and have easy meetings and virtual meetings with clients abroad. It also supports VPN, which is mainly used at the organization level because we can manage our regional data easily.

Device encryption is a main priority for us as developers in a FinTech company because we have the most secure user data, so it is good to have encrypted data to manage our data. The device encryption is a good feature to keep the client data encrypted and secure.

Windows 10 is mainly providing updates for security and UI changes, so the security updates are very useful for us as developers, and even for personal use, the updates are excellent.

We have faced some issues with Windows OneDrive because if one developer has a folder in a common OneDrive folder, it took some time to show it to others. It becomes somewhat difficult to work, as there is latency on that, so if you update that, it will be more efficient and useful for the developers.

My main focus on Windows 10 is the giving of regular updates, so it might take some time to update Windows, which is also mandatory. As a developer, when we are working with Windows 10, if it takes more time to update and restart the PC, it affects our efficiency at work. If we could stop the updates on a regular basis or if they were delivered faster, it would be easier.

As a developer, the frequent updates are too annoying for working on it, so it would be better if we stop the frequent updates and only provide the most important ones. Performance issues over time due to background apps and programs piling up and using an SSD  instead of a hard disk are also concerns.

I have started my journey with computers, and I started with Windows 10. It has been more than fifteen to sixteen years that I am working with Windows, and for Windows 10, I think I have been working with it for around three to four years.

Windows 10 is stable for my daily development work, providing frequent security updates and user-friendly updates, which are excellent. My only concern is that updates take too long during restarts, which can be annoying, but otherwise, Windows 10 is a good solution for developers.

Windows 10 has good scalability and we rarely face issues. I think the only issues we encounter are with updates and background running apps. In other aspects, as developers, we can focus fully on our work without pressure or concerns about issues on our own PCs, making Windows 10 a good scalable solution for developers.

The customer support for Windows 10 is excellent, but I have not directly worked with customer support because, as an organization, we meet with IT support, and they coordinate with Windows customer support. So I do not have much experience with that.

I previously used Linux alongside Windows 10, including Ubuntu  and Kali Linux , which are not as user-friendly compared to Windows 10. As a software web application developer, user-friendliness is more efficient for us to work on, making it easy to focus on our tasks rather than the operating system. Windows 10 is a very fast operating system for developers, and that is why I switched.

The pricing for Windows 10 Pro is very good, but I do not know how the pricing works at the organizational level because, as developers, we are using the solution, and the pricing details are handled by the IT team. So I do not have much experience with that.

In evaluating options, I have used Kali Linux  and Ubuntu  and then switched to Windows 10 due to its user-friendliness, secure manner, and excellent Windows Defender. Additionally, we can easily use Microsoft Teams  and OneDrive for shared folders, which is another reason I switched to Windows 10.

If a newly joined developer is confused about choosing an operating system, I would advise them to use Windows 10 because it is a user-friendly operating system. A new developer can easily adapt to it, and security-wise, Windows 10 is good, so they do not need to worry about personal data or anything because the encryption levels are excellent. At the organizational level, we can work collaboratively on OneDrive and Teams, which makes our work efficient. I have rated this review an eight out of ten.

My main use cases for Windows 10  are phased out currently, mainly involving deployment of user systems and setting up Active Directory.

Hyper-V  optimizes hardware usage effectively; it doesn't sap all the resources from the computer and works very stably.

Windows 10 's Task View feature for multitasking performs efficiently for putting multiple windows in one screen.

Windows Defender antivirus contributes to security management in my environment.

The initial setup of Windows 10 is straightforward.

I cannot think of any areas that could be improved or additional features for Windows 10 since I have been using Windows 11  for a while now.

Better support for Windows 10 would be beneficial.

I have approximately three to four years of experience with Windows 10 and IIS .

It is reliable and stable.

The scalability of Windows 10 rates as a solid nine out of ten.

I haven't used their support system extensively, as I primarily use Reddit or Stack Overflow for assistance.

The initial setup of Windows 10 is straightforward.

I have participated in the deployment of Windows 10 multiple times.

Windows 11  operates somewhat slower than Windows 10, particularly with the UI.

I cannot identify any improvements Windows 11 offers over Windows 10, as it seemed to be an unnecessary upgrade.

I rate Windows 10 eight out of ten.

I use Windows 10  for regular office activities.

The user interface is something I'm used to and familiar with.

Regarding features, I am not sure what the most helpful or useful aspects of Windows 10  are, or what makes it particularly special.

Performance and slowness are areas that could be improved in Windows 10. Sometimes the system experiences slowdowns.

The only issue I face and can remember is related to performance.

I have been using Windows 10 for 10 years.

The initial setup was not difficult for me as I only needed to install it.

However, it takes a couple of hours to complete the full installation.

I have not contacted Microsoft support and cannot think of any relevant experiences.

I have not had the opportunity to work with other operating systems such as Linux.

I am not fully involved in technical work, and I may not be the most qualified person to provide feedback.

Regarding licensing, I am using Windows 10 through my office and am not familiar with the details.

I am not sure about virtual desktop functionality.

The system is not integrated with other tools.

I make use of the Edge browser and Chrome.

Regular updates work fine.

On a scale of 1-10, I rate Windows 10 a 9.

Regarding features such as Cortana voice activation, I am not using that; it is not AI, it is more similar to Siri in iPhones.

Regarding the initial setup, it is not difficult to set up Windows 10  on the laptop; it takes a few minutes. Regarding the benefits from using it, I would consider it is a cost-effective tool, though it might be a bit overpriced if I am aware about prices at all.

The most beneficial feature of Windows 10  that I would share is that it is popular among users; it is easier to use for a common user because of its popularity.

For the integration of Windows 10, I have no issues with that, and I utilize features such as Windows Hello and BitLocker . Regarding BitLocker , I use it and I am satisfied with that. I have not faced any issues in terms of false positives. I utilize the Edge browser of Windows 10 or use different browsers.

I do not find Windows 10 compatible with my applications as I am not using any legacy applications.

Regarding my experience with Windows 10, I was annoyed with updates that constantly make my PC restart. Additionally, the user interface could be more intuitive because it is sometimes too hard to find specific items.

Regarding stability, I have not experienced any issues at all.

Regarding scalability overall, I can increase the licensing amount easily when there is company growth or when new people join.

Regarding complications with Windows 10, I am not contacting Microsoft directly as I can manage to solve issues by myself.

The initial setup is not difficult to set up Windows 10 on the laptop; it takes few minutes.

I do not use the virtual desktop feature.

In terms of using a specific browser, it is mostly individual choice; it is not mandatory to use a specific one.

I think Windows 10 provides enough value for the money that I have to pay for it. In terms of support, I have never contacted a technical support team.
