Windows 10: Advantages and disadvantages of the operating system

Windows 10 was released on July 29, 2015. According to the company, more than 100 million people have installed the system. There is a simple explanation for such popularity. The developers have sincerely tried to take into account all the wishes of users and create a single platform for all devices (tablets, smartphones, etc.). Another interesting feature of the released product is that it is the latest product in the Windows lineup. But what are the main advantages and disadvantages of this operating system?

The advantages include:

• Users of versions 7 and 8 can install this completely free of charge within one year of the official release.
• Full-screen applications can be resized to the desired size so that you can, for example Casimba not necessarily be able to play in full-screen mode. Unfortunately, this was not possible in the eighth version.
• Support for multiple desktops without hang-up and stuttering, which was typical of previous versions.
• The new Windows can be used on both desktop PCs and portable handheld devices. All official applications are installed on every gadget with Windows 10 support and their user interface is adapted to the functions.
• Also note that the system requirements for installing Windows 10 are the same as for the seventh version. It can easily run on legacy systems with limited RAM and a weak processor. The official specification is very democratic.
• Updates are installed automatically in the background and do not require the computer to be restarted.
• You can revert to the previous Windows 7 or Vista if you have a backup on your hard disk, as well as to the eighth version.

But of course you have to admit that there are some disadvantages:

• On some devices it will only install after 2-3 attempts. Fortunately, this is more about portable PCs - such problems have not been mentioned among PC users.
• Problems with regional settings. Many users have found that they have tried to make settings for their region, but the operating system automatically installs the USA. And nothing can be done about this.
• Absence of the Media Center application and thus the application for playing DVDs. This is due to the fact that such media is obsolete in the world of modern technologies (but not in developing countries where technological support is still needed).
• Privacy issues. The license agreement gives Microsoft the right to collect your personal information and statistics - location data, browsing history, etc. As Microsoft itself asserts, the information is used to send promotional materials and improve the company's software products. But who knows if this is really the case.

To summarize, it can be said that this operating system is quite a successful product. It takes into account the wishes of users and mitigates the shortcomings of Windows 8. On the other hand, the new system also has certain disadvantages. Microsoft specialists take into account the wishes of users and refine their product to eliminate bugs, performance problems and other shortcomings. Work is underway to expand functionality. Windows 10 therefore has every chance of becoming the most popular operating system in the world.
