The editors didn't like

  • Design took a back seat to utility

  • Cortana
  • Start menu redesign is blah

  • Web results frequently distracting
  • Irrelevant
  • Edge Browser doesn't support extensions
  • Few filters and effects
  • No star ratings
  • No before-and-after view
  • No Save As
  • No face tagging
  • Cortana shows a shocking lack of functionality in places
  • Ongoing polish and improvements mean little is ever truly done
  • Some elements are less touch-friendly than in Windows 8.1. Browser lacks extensions. Skype and OneDrive integration could be improved. Less integration with mobile OS than Mac OS X. Some interface duplications remain
  • Confused settings menus
  • Upgrade download issues
  • Advertising and inapp purchases in previously free Windows games
  • App store has fewer and less feature-full apps than competing phone OSes
  • Not all older phone models are upgradeable
  • Tablet Mode changes aren't great
  • Cortana loses features
  • Not every bug is dead yet. Switching modes gets really confusing. Cortana's voice recognition is a mess. Windows really needs more apps
  • Weird software bugs
  • Microsoft Edge needs more work
  • Missing features in built-in apps
  • Bugs
  • Inconsistent
  • Cortana can't control 3rd party apps like in Windows Phone (yet)
  •  Tablet mode may have a learning curve (but you don't have to use it)
  • Some older programs designed for desktop Windows don't work quite as well in Tablet mode
  • Many Universal apps are not
  • The Windows Store and Universal Apps still have to prove themselves. Windows 10 will only achieve greatness if Microsoft keeps updating it as promised. UI inconsistency is still something to consider.
  • No major changes beyond the traditional Windows desktop
  • Xbox One game streaming requires a robust network
  • Still not many worthwhile modern Windows apps yet

  • There are lots of new features in Windows 10 and we certainly like it a lot, but there's also little doubt that Microsoft is still playing catch-up with OS X in many key areas, including security and desktop features. Windows 10 is undoubtedly more secure...

  • Windows 7 is still an excellent, reliable, and stable operating system, but we've been impressed by the innovations Microsoft has included with Windows 10. If Windows 8 left a bad taste in your mouth, or just never really appealed, we think you'll find th...

  • For the majority of home users, Windows 10 is free and this means that there's really no reason not to upgrade. Unless there's a specific feature in Windows 7 or Windows 10 that you can't live without then the new features combined with the familiarity of...

  • If you haven't already upgraded to Windows 10, you should be aware that making the switch isn't a one-time decision. It's a step onto a perpetual conveyor belt of upgrades. So far we've had two major updates – the Anniversary Update and the Creators Updat...

  • With Windows 8 being so poorly received (despite being a pretty decent OS underneath) Windows 10 is certainly a step in the right direction. If you're eligible for the free upgrade, there's really no reason not to get it for features like Universal Apps a...
