A stable operating system with Active Directory configurations
How has it helped my organization?
I prioritize stability and performance, so I'm accustomed to the Windows interface. When I attempt tasks on Linux, it feels unfamiliar to me. Prolonged usage, familiarity should lead to efficiency.
What is most valuable?
Active Directory configuration for administrators makes it very easy to manage the environment in companies or universities at an enterprise level, making it possible to do everything.
What needs improvement?
The solution could improve the availability and compatibility of applications like Linux. Additionally, refining the file transfer process to ensure smoother transitions between different applications or systems would be beneficial. Lastly, ensuring seamless compatibility with common file formats like PowerPoint presentations could enhance user experience and efficiency on Windows platforms. It should have less frequent updates for the UI and threats. I started with Windows 95. Sometimes, there are changes in the user interface, so some services and tools are in different places than in the previous version. It takes some time to get used to it.
The solution should improve the Windows startup process by allowing users to customise which components launch at startup is a valid one. This would give users more control over their system's performance and resource usage. Implementing a feature that allows users to easily manage startup programs and services, perhaps through a dedicated settings menu or a startup manager tool, could address this issue. This way, users could disable or enable specific applications and services according to their preferences, optimizing their system's performance and startup time. Additionally, providing clear information about the impact of each startup item on system resources could help users make informed decisions about which components to enable or disable.

I rate the solution’s scalability ten out of ten.
How are customer service and support?
The IT department, specifically the ICT team, provides support for this. Several people are involved. They manage the computer rooms, including installation and updates. A new installation is required every year because students change. I manage computers, adhering to organizational rules.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup is fast.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
You need to pay for a license for Windows 10 every month.
What other advice do I have?
Windows Defender aims to provide users with a secure computing experience, and it's advisable to keep your system updated to take advantage of the latest security enhancements.
I use a computer with only four gigabytes of RAM. There are ten nodes in my notebook. I plan to buy a new one with a huge RAM memory, but currently, only four gigabytes work in one node, while eight gigabytes work in an external computer. The system startup is very slow because the newest version of Windows requires more memory. Many services are running. It should change how Windows starts. Some components, like Skype, start automatically with Windows.
The solution's configuration is easy.
Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.
