Has good integration features and a fantastic UI
What needs improvement?
For how long have I used the solution?
I have experience with Windows 10.
How are customer service and support?
I never contacted the solution's technical support, and instead, I use ChatGPT. I can find solutions to my issues with ChatGPT.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I upgraded from Windows 10 to Windows 11. I have to face my customers, who normally prefer Windows 11 now, so I upgraded my PC. Windows 11 is more stable overall than Windows 10, and its UI is fantastic.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
Microsoft supports free upgrades from Windows 10 to Windows 11.
What other advice do I have?
At some point in time, Windows 10 will reach the end of service, and then it can not be supported by Microsoft. I think everybody has to upgrade the OS to Windows 11 from Windows 10.
Windows 10 and Windows 11 look quite similar. It is quite easy to use the very good secured features in Windows 11. When I used to use Windows 10, it was quite difficult to find the features that I wanted. When it comes to protection, Windows 11 gives many functions or default options, but Windows 10 does not.
When it comes to the integration features, Windows 10 and Windows 11 are the same. Nowadays, many product companies support Windows 11, and then they start to support Windows 10.
Many people, like me, normally use ChatGPT. ChatGPT has two versions, one is for free and the other is a commercial version. The commercial version is excellent, and I am satisfied with it.
If I need some features or functions in Windows 10 or Windows 11, I check with my IT team.
Over Windows 10, I would recommend Windows 11 to others.
I rate the tool a nine out of ten.

The product's initial setup phase was very simple, and I feel anyone can do it.
The solution can be deployed in 45 minutes.
What was our ROI?
Windows 10 is definitely better than Windows 7 in terms of performance, as it is comparatively faster and easier to work with, so all the work gets done quickly.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The tool's price used to be good earlier, but now it has become expensive. The tool is worth the money, especially since Windows 10 users got auto-upgraded to Windows 11.
What other advice do I have?
After the tool's implementation, I can say that I see that its performance is better since the system does not hang anymore. The UI is also good. Overall, the experience is even better with Windows 11.
Windows 10 was definitely better than Windows 7. Windows 11 is better than Windows 10.
I like the fact that Windows 10 introduced Windows Defender, so I don't have to install antivirus separately. Windows Defender works well.
I have not integrated the tool with other teams.
I recommend Windows 11 over Windows 10.
I rate the tool an eight out of ten.
Supports multiple windows, which helps organize tasks
What is our primary use case?
I use Windows 10 as a normal desktop environment.
What is most valuable?
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.
What needs improvement?
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.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using the product for six years.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
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.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The price is quite expensive for our currency. A perpetual license costs around 300 dollars.
What other advice do I have?
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.
Has a good user portal and provides continuous updates
What is our primary use case?
The solution is used as the main operating system for end-user clients.
What is most valuable?
The solution's most valuable features are virtual desktops and continuous updates. The Microsoft Edge browser is also okay, but I prefer other browsers over it. The solution's user portal is better.
What needs improvement?
There are some risks involved in integrating third-party solutions with Windows 10. The solution's identity and access management could be better. There are some compliance blind spots regarding security threats in Windows 10.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using the solution for three to four years.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I also use Windows 11. You already have encryption on Windows 11, but you need something like BitLocker for encryption on Windows 10.
What other advice do I have?
It's very important to have a good 360-degree security solution to cover the risks associated with integrating third-party solutions. It's important to have a good endpoint solution and a good firewall. It's also important to have good patch management and asset management. I would recommend the solution to other users.
Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.
Easy to use and has good features like control panel, system settings, and backup
What is our primary use case?
Windows 10 is mostly used in our production system. We are a TV station with some software depending on an operating system. This software won't be able to start or manage in other operating systems. We were forced to use Windows 10. Since we updated that software, we switched to Windows 11.
Journalists and headquarters are using Windows 11. Some PCs in the international department use Windows 10 because some scripts and certificates still don't work as they should on Windows 11. Little by little, day by day, we are updating our software and switching to Windows 11.

When I try to install and use apps in Windows 10, they don't work properly, making it an area that needs improvement.
Just like cell phones, Windows 10 even installs some applications, but the ones that are available in the market are not very good, difficult to use, or do not get installed properly.
I have a complaint about Microsoft, which is mostly about Outlook, and not about Windows 10. I have nothing bad to say about Windows 10.

I don't plan to switch to Windows 11 from Windows 10.
What other advice do I have?
The capacity of the solution is very good.
I did not face any problems when using Windows 10.
I recommend the product to others.
It is a very good product that is easy to use. I don't like that the solution no longer offers me the chance to choose the desktop option. It's a very nice software to use.
I rate the tool a seven out of ten.
Makes it easy to access the taskbar section and browser tabs
What is most valuable?
Windows 10 makes it easy to access the taskbar section and browser tabs. Additionally, I can easily access and use applications. I find the task manager valuable, as I can quickly access it and turn off applications I don't want to use. Having a default Windows security feature makes it easy to engage.
What needs improvement?
The solution could have AI-driven functionality and voice integration features.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup is fair and takes 30-45 minutes, depending on the PC involved.
What other advice do I have?
Every few days, a new Windows update is released. It contains errors. It's often sold out, so it's hard to get. It practically sells itself. It's the go-to for PCs, and it's stable. It's worth a couple of hundred dollars for users.
Windows 10 includes features that allow it to run with various types of products and envision their capacity, so be sure to save it.
Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.
Easy to use and offers good performance

What is most valuable?
The most valuable feature of the solution is the notepad.
What needs improvement?
My problem with the product stems from the fact that it does not ask for your opinion or time when going for an upgrade. I feel that the product just starts the upgrade abruptly. The aforementioned area can be considered for improvement in the product. I would like the product to reduce the frequency of updates.

My company has opted for a volume-based license.
What other advice do I have?
The performance offered by Windows 10 is better compared to the one offered by Windows 7.
The security framework offered by the product is not good enough for our company, and this is one of the reasons why we are using an additional product for endpoint protection.
One thing that I don't like about the product is when I present the product to our company's client. The clients find that they need to update without any dialogue box appearing for them asking whether they want to update it or not.
To those who plan to use the product, I would say that they need to be careful while using free Wi Fi access.
With regards to whether the solution supports hardware compatibility compared to its previous versions, I would say that one of the reasons why my company moved to the cloud was for compatibility, but in general I know that there is a need to refresh technology after five to eight years of its initial purchase.

I rate the tool an eight out of ten.

Windows 10 Professional or Enterprise is a very robust operating system for the client side.
What needs improvement?
The solution's pricing could be a little cheaper.
For how long have I used the solution?

How was the initial setup?
The solution’s initial setup is very easy.
What about the implementation team?
Depending on how you use it, the installation can take 50 minutes in some cases. In an unusual case, the solution might be installed in half an hour.
If you're using older hardware, the deployment will be a much longer process. The process is really easy if you use hardware matching the driver requirements from the Windows 10 environment. You have to manually input the information about the PC's name and set up the region, settings, clock, etc. After that, you must install the driver.
What other advice do I have?
The solution provides a very high security framework that benefits our organization. I have been lucky to have the solution's compatibility with my client's hardware, such as laptops and notebooks. So, the deployment process is very easy. Windows 10 is a very straightforward, capable, and reliable operating system. However, it will be outdated in the future.
Overall, I rate the solution ten out of ten.
