This has to be the easiest version of windows to install and use. I still don't agree with nor like that it installs updates and drivers without your permission but not worth deducting any stars from the review over it.

I obviously needed an operating system for my new build. What can be said it's windows. Does what it was designed to do. Surprised how intuitive it is, after a few tweaks it has my machine running good.

Window 10 Pro - Easiest Installation, basically installs itself. Best Windows operating system ever IMHO. Comes on a Flash Drive. Installs in USB Takes about an hour for program to load.

I originally had an issue with the delivery of this product. I had ordered online for delivery what was listed as a full retail version of Windows 10 on disk. What I received was an OEM version.
I was able to return it to my local Best Buy with no problem, and ended up getting the USB stick retail version which I was able to install with no issues. There's not much to say about Windows 10. It is what it is.
My main comment is to be careful if you don't want an OEM when ordering online. Best Buy DOES NOT specify OEM anywhere on their web page for Windows 10.

Operating system seems pretty stable; it wasn't too hard to install. Make sure you back up everything before you start. I lost about half my saved documents.
We hope that helps and thanks for being a part of the Microsoft family.

So, now that we no longer have CD Roms or Drives for that matter, the little thumb drive was awesome to use. Unfortunately, for some reason it would not boot using the thumb drive. After several unsuccessful attempts, we used the online version and keyed in the included code and voila. Easy peezy. So if the thumb drive doesn't work, just download it!

Windows 10 Pro worked perfectly on my MacBook Pro 15 laptop. I installed virtualization software and was able to easily install Windows 10 on this in order to run my Windows applications while, in parallel, continuing to access my Mac OS X applications. I am very pleased by this purchase and I know that by purchasing the copy of Windows from Best Buy that I am purchasing a legit, legal, software license and that is very important to me.

Easy download and updates. Great improvements in those updates for faster, safer, easier browsing operations and custom options with Cortana, custom settings to fit your style, and productivity and power reduction settings to numerous to count. Reliability is incomparable to earlier versions. So much more to do to make your computer your own.

Works Great!
I had windows 7 on my desktop that I built. I didn't want to back up my old files on my ssd drive so I bought a brand new 1tb ssd drive installed it on my desk top then I installed Windows 10 on the new ssd drive and the attached a usb 3.0 adapter to the old drive and dragged all my files on to the new ssd drive. Now all my programs runs real smoothly now.

1. What was I thinking? You can build a. Win 10 pro DVD, by downloading the OS from Microsoft's web site. FREE!! Just keep up with the latest updates.
2. When i took the USB drive out of the box, it appeared to look like it would be held by the plastic end and pulled open, with the other hand from the metal case. I couldn't pull it out no matter how hard I tried. So I got 2 sets of pliers... ...now having torn the tip of the plastic off, I realize it's not covered at all. It doesn't have a cover, or cap. Just remove it from the box and, holding the plastic end, insert the metal end into a USB slot.
3. The license key is located on a business card sized card in a slot in the box. ....and that's what you are really paying for.

Hi there,
Thanks for your review. We're glad you were able to get Windows 10 Pro installed on your device successfully. You are absolutely correct that we offer the Windows 10 ISO for free on our website. The USB option is for customers that want the ease of being able to just plug in the USB and start the installation.
Best,
