    Speedy interface, but so far it has lagged out my Chrome application. I am still troubleshooting the problem. Other than that, I have zero complaints.

    Finished sooner than expected. The only thing I don't like is the appointment system. I wasn't aware you had that and I prefer the old way although, if I had used it properly, I probably would have had a shorter wait.

    Windows 10 is loaded onto a flash drive, which is great because I just built a new PC but didn't realize my new case did not have optical drive access, oops. Product key worked perfectly, when you type it correctly lol.

    I had windows 7 ultimate which was great. I started recently having issues so I had to update to Windows 10. I was hesitant since I run a RAID 5 setup and updating the operating system was a snap.

    I had trouble with my windows ten on my computer not being properly licensed by the installer. I simply went to my favorite best buy and bought a valid copy to fix the problem.

    This version of Windows is better, but I'm sure we'll see more to come. Only bought this because Geek squad couldn't figure out my errors message. Removed bad memory card and installed this and back up and running.

    I didn't want to upgrade but I had to after getting a new HD and Motherboard. It works and isn't as annoying as 8. I still think 7 was the best.

    Pretty good system I comparison to recent entries. Feels like like windows but with a twist of app based interface. Good to see Microsoft actually giving people what they want.

    What more to say other than, it’s windows... the USB drive is super handy. Although I only bought this becuase you can’t install macOS on a custom built PC.

    Since creating a recovery CD/DVDR seems to be an impossible task for systems that upgraded on line. I had to go spend 125$ just to wipe my computer for a fresh install.

    Both my ASUS laptop and my wife's Dell tower purchased at Best Buy came with Windows 8 installed at the time of purchase. Windows 10 is significantly a worthwhile upgrade.

    The Windows Home came on a small USB stick. The read from the stick was fast. We were able to setup a new drive in abut 20 minutes. There were Windows updates after that

    Bought this because my SSD got corrupted and had to rebuild my PC. Can’t say more about it. The price is high, but that is Microsoft’s issue, not Best Buy

    I really wanted to upgrade to windows 10 from windows seven because after January 2020 there's no more support for windows seven. should have done my research before purchasing only to find out it is not upgradable to my old laptop hp pavillion dm4 2165.Better find out first if your system is upgradable to windows 10.

    I needed a copy of Windows 10 to run on VM Fusion so that I could remote into my work PC from my MacBook. This relatively inexpensive option keeps me from having to carry two laptops when I travel.

    Windows 10 is a bit to get use to, but was disappointed when I found that the photo program does not allow you to tag people. Do not like that it seems that everything needs to go into the cloud.

    Our hard drive crashed and the back up discs that were painstakingly created and saved in a safe place were useless after replacing the hard drive. Easy transition from 7 to 10.
