Pros: - so my first experience with Windows was the 3.1 version, and I used most of them since, this one ranks about 3rd after XP and Windows 7 - they constantly improve this product as it supposed to be the last Windows, and they do listen to the community feedback - works well, very stable, rarely crashes - great improvement over Windows 8 - trouble free install on a SAMSUNG 970 PRO NVMe
Cons: - it supposed to be the last Windows, so what choice do you have? - lots of privacy concerns turn on by default, and other resource intensive processes that are not needed - update process was better on previous versions of Windows, many times it gets stuck at a certain %, then you toggle the screen and you will see that the progress bar moves - suffered from a fuzzy text, when laptop was connected to external display, which eventually got resolved through one of the feature pacts
Overall Review: I went for a retail since Microsoft is not releasing anymore PC based operating systems in the future, it is better to have a hard copy on hand then rely on OEM. Go back to Windows 7 update model allowing us to select updates we want to install, turn off telemetry and all those resource hogging useless processes, and privacy settings on off, then I will give it 5 eggs rating
