A Solid Performer Nears Sunset

5.0 4 weeks ago New

Comments: Windows 10 remains a solid performer even as its end of official support looms near. I for one wish Microsoft would keep going so the machines I run 10 on could stay as they are. The solid interface and intuitive controls are a classic

Pros:

Windows 10 represents a solid operating system with elements that are familiar to many who use PCs. Windows delivers a predictable environment with just enough innovation each iteration to create a slight learning curve while maintaining an authentic "this is a pc and not a Mac" sort of feel. With the rise of Linux and other alternatives, the OS market is more crowded, but Windows remains my favorite simply because it is familiar, stable, and predictable.

Cons:

Windows 10 moved things around that other iterations of Windows did not. I'd prefer if we went back to a Windows 7 sort of menu system for settings and other higher order maintenance items. It would be simpler and more accessible. The large amount of white space and sparse intractable either makes one feel juvenile or simply makes the program seem too simple with the lack of customizable items needed to "fix" the issue at hand. Control Panel, meanwhile, retains the familiar feel and functionality.

A dying giant

3.0 2 months ago New

Pros:

Everyone supported the platform, so I didn't miss out on any software, excluding anything requiring stronger hardware.

Cons:

It was supposed to be the final version of Windows, and Microsoft lied to us all. Additionally, in the later years of win 10's lifespan, it has gotten only further unstable, especially on older hardware.

Windows 10 user since 2016

4.0 last month New

Comments: Started using windows 10 on 2016 but at that time I were using windows 8 with 4gb of ram but when I updated to windows 10 I was left with 2gb of ram until today I didn't know how and why I had that problem.

Pros:

Reliable gets thing done Easy to use and interact with the system as a normal user or beginner.

Cons:

Sometimes windows defender blocks me from doing my job as a software developer and I have to deactivate it, but other than that is smooth mostly

Alternatives Considered:

Corporative Os

4.0 10 months ago

Pros:

The best features of windows 10 is that most programs are available there compared to MacOs or Linux. If you are a gamer or an engineer and you need programs like Proteus, PowerBI, LabView, and so on, you will definitely need this OS.

Cons:

I think the CMD is less intuitive than the linux terminal, it is also more difficult to manage the programs and completely uninstall them. The updates take a long time and they occur at any random moment.

Windows 10 was an awesome OS

5.0 4 months ago

Comments: Windows 10 was just awesome, but the upgrade to Windows 11 was bad, as it turned the system to run slow even for a small application, when compared to Windows 10 with Windows 11, I would say Windows 10 was the best.

Pros:

It's the best OS of all the time, quick and easy.

Cons:

I cannot say anything least about Windows 10, but the worst is the Windows 11 Upgrade. Switching back to the older version option should be available all the time, irrespective of 1 week.

Legendary OS with to much bloatware

4.0 last year

Comments: My experience with Windows 10 I would say is excellent I have been using Windows my entire life since the days of floppy disks and windows 3.0 and dos.

Pros:

The things you can do with Windows operating system is endless there's really nothing much you can't do when it comes to the OS.

Cons:

In my opinion they have Through The Years stepped up the bloatware insanely I do not like that part Windows would be a much better operating system without all the bloatware

The best operating system to date for both work use and personal use

5.0 last year

Comments: A great OS which has lots to offer for everyday use. The operating system feels fresh and crisp and is much better than the later Windows 11 release

Pros:

The simplistic design coupled with the more expert features embedded into the system gives companies and home pc users the best of both worlds with such a comprehensive package.

Cons:

That windows 7 was not simply updated and built upon rather than a new install required.

Windows 10 my operating system

4.0 last year

Comments: although it is the best operating system currently on the market I think that there are still things to improve such as the frameworks which do not install correctly. but fortunately not all software uses frameworks

Pros:

what I appreciate most in Windows 10 is the possibility of being able to install other antiviruses in addition to the firewall that exists, I can protect my computer even better

Cons:

What I don't appreciate is the hit of the license to use Microsoft software which is essential for use

My 2+ year experience of using windows 10.

5.0 2 years ago

Pros:

Windows 10 has combination of familiar and refined user interface elements from Windows 7 and 8. The reintroduction of the Start Menu, along with features like Task View for virtual desktops and Cortana as a virtual assistant, enhances productivity and convenience. Universal apps provided a consistent experience across different Windows devices, and Xbox integration allowed for game streaming and interaction with the Xbox Live community.

Cons:

I don't feel that it has much of cons, but one thing is that sometimes there are bugs that are irritating and I have to wait for the next update in order to get rid of that bug.

Rough start but now is king

4.0 last year

Pros:

That you can install it for free and not need an activation code. You would only get a watermark that you don't have activated but all of the functions are there.

Cons:

Too many updates all the time. It seems that every few days there are updates. Why so many updates?!?!?! I guess I would complain also if there were too few updates. You have to strike a balance.
