So far so good. Really want to use the multiple virtual desktops feature ďcoming from nearly 10 years of running Ubuntu, Linux Mint, and other Linux dirivitives this is something that is familiar to me). However, it's not so clear on how to enable and use this feature without an internet search (something I've yet to do).\n\nInstallation came with a minor hiccup that may pose a serious issue for those with less experience. Being that I was transitioning from Ubuntu to Windows, my drive was littered with several partions, most being formatted ext4. Of course, windows needs NTFS, so when the time came, I deleted all partitions (I previously backed up important data) and attempted to create a new NTFS partition across the entire 500GB HDD. Windows however, refused to recognize this new partition. So instead, I had to take out my Ubuntu Live DVD, noted up, and discovered in the partition editor that windows was improperly creating the partition. Deleting and creating a new NTFS partition in Linux solved the problem and windows happily accepted the new partion at this point.\n\nI do like the design of the start menu. It makes finding frequently used apps simple, and the customization is really handy. I'm still very much getting used to running windows after having run Linux almost exclusively for the last 5-10 years, so I'm not going to criticize my lack of knowledge of where some settings are hiding. However, I will knock a star off for the partioning issue. Someone without access or knowledge of Linux or alternative partioning tools may very well think that the HDD or the entire computer was dead at that point and wasted money on unnecessary hardware. Using another operating system to fix something the windows installer should have handled just isn't acceptable I'm my opinion.

Pros: It installed without difficulty from the USB drive and has been stable with my hardware. For a new build I chose the full version rather than the OEM version so I could reuse it if the new MOBO failed (it doesn't happen often but it can). Hardware: Intel I5-9400F, Asus Z390-P, Samsung M.2 SSD, and 16Gb G. Skill DDR4 RAM. Cons: What's annoying are the frequent random updates. it would be nice to be able to schedule them.\nWhat's UGLY is that the installation forces you to create a Microsoft account, which then forces you to type your full email address to log on to your computer. Fortunately you can switch to a local login with a PIN, but creating an account is an unnecessary imposition by Microsoft. I seriously doubt that I will buy anything direct from Microsoft or use their cloud storage. Overall Review: I would recommend this software as there aren't many PC alternatives. I read later that I could have avoided the account creation by not leaving the computer attached to the internet, so unless you favor more Big Brother controlling you I'd suggest that means of installation.

Overall this a good OS. The start menu is back from it's hiatus in Windows 8 and the layout of the GUI is attractive enough. I am very impressed with how fast it runs. I am running it on a Core 2 duo E8400 system with 8 gb ram and the everyday tasks are snappy and virtually instant. \r\n\r\nOf course there is a negative side to this product and that is the forced updates. Unlike Windows 7 and 8 you can no longer choose whether to install updates, they are mandatory. Even worse is Windows now also forces driver updates. So if you're using a custom graphics driver for example, Windows may suddenly decide you need one of it's verified drivers instead. Of course you can simply reinstall your old driver afterward but I must say that is a bit of a pain..\r\n\r\nOverall though this a good product, it could be great if a bit more control were offered to the end user, and such as it is I give it four out of five stars.

I've never installed an operating system before. It came on a usb stick. It wasn't hard to install but I did look up some things while I was installing it. I didn't know what drive 1 and 0 were. I also didn't understand what partioning was. After looking that up I just followed the on-screen steps. It was more expensive then I thought it would be. I was tempted to buy a key online but kept reading how most of those keys are scams.

WIndows 10 is the best Operating System around. This Windows 10 Home version, is good for x32 & x64 bit computer systems. On new systems it's great, and for a good many older systems it runs OK to good. The oldest system that I have Win10 installed on is a Lenovo Edge 15 laptop with an AMD CPU and 8GB of memory installed. \nThis Windows 10 Home comes on a USB Drive and installed without a hitch on a new system build. After installation, keep going to windows update, until you get all the updates to include version 1909, which is the latest version.\nI've had Windows installed on all my systems since the beginning and it just got better over time. If you like Windows 7, you should like 10.\nAnyway, I recommend Windows 10 Home to everyone. There's nothing else like it.

Pros: I like hard copies of my software and the USB Flash Drive seems to me to be aneven better medium. I had a problem with a cracked disk once that Microsoft replaced but that was a pain. Overall Review: This is a review on Newegg, a company I can always count on. I've done about a half dozen comp. builds and I used to buy those OEM cheap OS's untill someone sold me a pirated copy. The guy sent me four more activation codes before one worked and the item was supposed to be nwe, unopened but a year and a half later Microsoft started telling me that I had pirated software! I have since been buying from Newegg and have had no such problems. Thanks Newegg! Willy
