We like the speed. Earlier on in the gestation of the OS we were really concerned
Because while things like file copying and app switching seemed fast and flawless there were numerous other things that were poor
Like Search and a sluggish Start menu. It

The editors didn't like
Cortana doesn't always cooperate
Edge still needs work
If there's anything to dislike about Windows 10 it's that Microsoft remains too bullish about the success of Windows 10's Universal apps
It's by no means certain that developers are going to flock to Windows 10 from iOS and Android simply because they ca
There are still some features that should be clear winners for Windows 10 that Microsoft hasn't got quite right
And plenty of new developments that whet your appetite but are still works in progress. The OneDrive app is no replacement for integrating One
Updates effectively mandatory
Still a few kinks to be ironed out
Removes some apps during upgrade
Will developers get on board?
Costly if can't get it free
All change for Windows 8 users
Die
Hard Windows 8.1 users will miss some features
Four
Way Aero snap is still awkward and fiddly
It's unclear what upgrades will cost after the first year
No changes to OneDrive
Some minor bugs (Edge browser tabs timing out
Cortana not always understanding
Odd glitches)
Lack of extensions in Edge browser
Not easy to switch from Bing or default apps
Cortana needs improvement
Groove Music cant recognise audio drivers
Windows desktop still the same
Windows Store still needs more apps
Search is broken
Some features dependent on hardware drivers
Some enterprise features of little immediate practical use
For the majority of home users, Windows 10 is free and this means that there's really no reason not to upgrade. Unless there's a specific feature in Windows 7 or Windows 10 that you can't live without then the new features combined with the familiarity of...
With Windows 8 being so poorly received (despite being a pretty decent OS underneath) Windows 10 is certainly a step in the right direction. If you're eligible for the free upgrade, there's really no reason not to get it for features like Universal Apps a...

Abstract: Microsoft's latest operating system finally went public earlier this year – although if you're anything like our editor Agent Cooper, you're still stuck on Windows 7 like it's 2009! But as Agent Bishop shows, the upgrade process can be as smooth as silk...
highly improved Edge browser, userfriendly interface, consolidated search bar
Cortana needs improvement, Groove Music cant recognise audio drivers, Windows desktop still the same
Windows 10 has revived Microsoft’s fortunes even as Apple’s MacBooks have been growing in popularity over the years. Several new features like the Edge browser, new start menu and Windows Explorer have so far performed admirably. It seems the ghosts of...
There's lots of new features in Windows 10 and we certainly like it a lot, but there's also little doubt that Microsoft Is still playing catch-up with OS X in many key areas, including security and desktop features. Windows 10 is certainly more secure, an...
With Microsoft starting to get to grips with a mobile-friendly operating system, it makes sense to compare it more and more with the competition's mobile offerings. While Apple has kept macOS and iOS clearly separate, Microsoft is providing a single opera...

Abstract: Windows 10 has finally arrived. Thanks to a daring strategy on Microsoft's part, the latest version of their operating system allows you to upgrade from Windows 7 or 8.1 for free until July 29 2016 (as long as you're not on an Enterprise licence). Windows...

Abstract: Windows 10 rights a lot of the wrongs done by Microsoft in Windows 8. One of the things that people hated about Windows 8 was the feeling that they were constantly being pushed to use "live tiles", which were designed for touch-based computing, even when...
Free upgrade, apps not always full-screen for better multi-tasking than Windows 8, Start menu back and improved, handy tablet mode, great Xbox and Office apps, robust and stable
Some minor bugs (Edge browser tabs timing out; Cortana not always understanding; odd glitches), lack of extensions in Edge browser, not easy to switch from Bing or default apps
Windows 10 is the most positive push for Microsoft's operating system in some years. It's a stable and good-looking operating system, it's not a risk to upgrade now if you're worried about applications compatibility (and the new apps, such as Mail a...
