    So I recently had to upgrade from Windows 7 ultimate. I was hesitant at first since I thought it may have a large learning curve. Plus, having a RAID 5 setup I was unsure the home Version would suffice. After speaking to the windows specialist at best buy he assured me there woulnt be an issue. I purchased windows 10 and backed up all my files and emails. Upgrading was quick and easy with the usb. My machine now runs smoother and faster with windows 10.

    No complaints here. Operating System installed easily on new computer build and been running steady. I guess if I was going to complain, it would be about the price. I know there are cheaper ways to get this online, but I decided to ensure authenticity of operating system to avoid any problems down the road.

    I need an OS for my built pc. This was the one besides the other version. Mainly because I was on a budget. I wanted something in physical form and that is legit. But that will cost more. I feel confident knowing it works well with my build. Overall would recommend just for anybody or everybody that needs a basic operating system.

    Much easier than a disc

    Putting an operating system on a USB drive makes sense. I was given a fairly new computer from a business for a family in need of a computer who could not afford one. It was a the previous owners business computer so we decided to wipe the HD and start new. Purchasing W10 at about about half the cost of a new computer seems pricey but the family we gave the computer to got a higher end unit than the base model at most stores.

    Windows 10 is pretty innovative and I couldn't recommend it enough. If you have Windows 7 you may want to consider upgrading. The product is in a USB so you don't have to worry about any CD. Be sure to take advantage of BestBuy's Price Match policy to get the best deal when purchasing this product. It is quite expensive.

    My first operating system on my first build. So far it is working smoothly. I decided to buy the usb version to install windows. It seems like they moving from disk to usb. Installation was nice and smooth. I wanted to buy from in store instead from online for security and legit reasons. Overall great item, wishes it was a bit cheaper.

    An update I needed, but it takes time to learn

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I was so comfortable using Windows 7 on my Mac Pro through Bootcamp that I did not want to go through the ordeal of having to learn Windows 10. However, I realized I was so “behind the times” that I had to. And I am glad I did. Some of the material I had printed and bound into books at the printer had to have the font changed before they could print the material. For this reason alone, it was well worth the update. The 4 stars I gave it representes my difficulty in learning how to use it - many confusing changes until I learn how to use it.

    I needed an operating system for a new PC build. There were cheaper ways of getting the OS, but I wanted to ensure it was a legit copy and I would have no problems installing and registering the product. Easy to install with included bootable USB. It's Windows. You should know what to expect. Taking off a star solely for the price.

    Great way to speed up an old PC or Laptop. Clean up the clutter. It really helps when you upgrade the hard drive with a Solid State drive. My Dell Laptop now screams! Almost better start up times than my new gaming laptop. I prefer Windows over Mac, always have always will.

    I decided to take an older computer and refurbish it since it had 16 gigs of memory. I replaced a hard drive that had died with a 500 gig SSD and this fresh copy of Windows 10. Everything was flawless! The old computer is as fast as any new one now and I am pleased with Windows 10.

    I purchased Windows 10 so I could support the Game Link with my HP Omen laptop and tower system. I run Windows 10 on many of my systems including work and I am used to the capabilities and features. I like the OS, but feel like it is constantly updating and usually at inopportune moments. A bit annoying but necessary.

    In the USB device you can find through your partition the file of Windows 10 in its simple and fast version to install, as an option connect your PC to the Internet so that all the necessary updates are made so that you get your product as up-to-date as possible, good purchase!

    After building a new computer with individual parts purchased this to install Windows 10 Home. Simple USB drive for installation. Only had to change my UEFI (BIOS) to boot from the USB drive and was able to instantly start Windows 10 installation.

    As a Mac user running Windows via Parallels, I have no complaints. The platform supports the most advanced functions of Office 365 in a seamless fashion. Windows has not crashed, loads its own updates, and (if the Mac crashes) will run its own disk check. No complaints here.
