Analysis of the most significant disadvantages and advantages of Windows 10, based on long-term experience in testing the system. The pros and cons listed below will help users finally decide on the need to switch to a new OS build.
Some users still complain to developers about system crashes due to the fact that Windows 10 itself chooses and installs drivers. Although this innovation should rather be attributed to the pluses of the system. It frees PC owners from additional search and self-installation of the necessary drivers. Errors and bugs in Windows 10 can occur with the installation and updating of both old and new programs. In addition, in the absence of the Internet, the system will not be able to automatically update the outdated driver.
The disadvantages of Windows 10 also include issues with older third-party apps and programs from the Windows Store itself. Do not forget that in the early stages it is almost impossible to imagine a perfectly working product, while a fresh build of the OS has already proven itself worthy. Most Windows 10 owners have not encountered these compatibility problems, difficulties in adapting drivers on a computer, and they speak positively about the latest version of the operating system.
When discussing the pros and cons of Windows 10, the situation with surveillance cannot be ignored. Loud and lengthy disputes over privacy turned out to be nothing more than a delusion and inattention of the users themselves. If you read the Statement of Collection and Use of Personal Information, it becomes clear that it differs from earlier versions of Windows 10 only in that it tracks keyboard input and downloaded applications. Moreover, all these and other privacy settings can be quickly and easily configured for yourself, both before installing Windows 10 and after updating the system. If the user is embarrassed by any attempt at tracking by computer companies, and he is not ready to put up with it, then he is better off abandoning any Microsoft, Apple products and preferring Linux. The corporations themselves explain this interference with the user's personal data by the individual selection of more relevant advertisements, news and applications.
The increase in system performance was most appreciated by former users of Windows 7, as version 8.1 turned out to be quite optimized for modern programs, especially games. From here, Windows 10 can be safely regarded as the best gaming platform for both old and new PC games.
For those users who are used to the classic start menu, the Windows 10 interface feels awkward at first. However, with the help of simple manipulations, you can change the composition, size and location of certain tiles, grouping them at your discretion, and also reduce the parameters of the Start window itself. If users are already accustomed to the wide menu of versions 8 and 8.1 or use a tablet, then you can transform the Start menu by dragging one slider in the section: Personalization - Start - Open the Start screen in full screen mode. Such mobility allows you to create not only a convenient, but also a functional interface for each specific user and can undoubtedly be considered the main advantage of Windows 10.
