    Needed the windows 10pro to have access to bit locker encryption and some server (work related) things. Installed this OS on my new Mac, via boot camp. Works great! Generally not a needed software (OS) for most pc users. Check with Microsoft.com to compare the differences, to see if buying this product is right for you.

    With this package you will download the software and then install. In my case it replaced Windows 7. To my delight it replaces the old Windows 7 OS without data loss of the other software APS on the desktop. The download size is very large, so time to download will depend on your Internet speed.

    I've had to purchase this to upgrade my windows 10 home to pro. Works great. Has a USB device if you have to install freash but to upgrade from home to pro you only need to type in the new product code, install a couple of updates, reboot and your at windows 10 pro. Very Simple

    You get everything you need from it. It is in the form of a USB stick, so for these new PC build without optical drives, it's perfect. The only issue is that there is only one license available for $200 bucks, not five. The CD version is also cheaper.

    USB installation was very easy. I have had no issue with Windows 10 after since installing it. However, I am still getting use to the new layout, and functions after having Windows 7 for a long time. It does seem expensive to me, which is why I am giving it a 4 stars instead of 5.

    I have been a MAC user for many years and I was very skeptical about using windows, but I build my own computer and I installed this OS and I'm surprised on how well and smooth is running. And it was a very nice transition from one OS to another.

    Had to have windows 10 Pro for my new computer build done by the Geek Squad. Had an old 32 bit system with Windows 7 and I was way too slow and antiquated compared with Windows 10 Pro. It's the best thing I have done in years with my PC.

    I went with windows pro should I could run more RAM on my new rig. With that said, it’s windows OS. Comes with a lot of bloatware but beyond that it doesn’t exactly what it’s suppose to. Don’t be as surprised as I was when you realize you have to pay to play solitaire!

    I would occasionally purchase the hard code and occasionally buy the soft code from the windows store. Now that the price on the windows store has gone up to match the price of the hard code, I will be buying nothing but hard code now.

    Needed Windows 10 Pro for a new computer build. It was easy to install and offers features like a Sandbox and the ability to set up Hyper Drive and a Virtual Machine. If you're an advanced user this has it all!

    I wish I didn't have to upgrade to 10, but other of my software systems required it. I don't love Edge, and here's where I admit to being old - I don't love the look of 10 but I have put a Windows 7 skin on it which has made it more tolerable.
