Customers like the ease of installation of the software. They mention that it installs in a shorter time, has only a brief update when it is finished, and the upgrade was very easy. It was also easy to plug in the USB drive and configure the BIOS to boot from the USB. For a more modern feel and ease of use, the startup times are very fast. The Windows 10 OS makes every task easier to perform and removes many additional steps from the process. The user interface and scheduling was just outstanding, and files are organized and easily accessible.

From the product description of this item, I expected a clean install of WIN 10 Home leaving only the operating system on the computer with no other software or files. Instructions with this USB said to boot the computer from the USB. While this computer was set to boot first from removable drive, it wold not boot from this (maybe any) USB. Note that the USB I received is labeled "Widows 10 Home/ Pro." After three failed attempts to boot from the USB, I opened to view files on it, then clicked on setup.exe. I got the result I described above. Windows 10 Pro installed leaving all my programs and files intact and ready to use.
*** This is not advice regarding how to install this software. This is not advice regarding what results you will receive. This is what I did and what happened, with my specific situation.
I have been receiving periodic updates, which means it's an official copy of Windows OS, not pirated. And yes, I know the seller is Microsoft but you never know these days. As far as quality of the operating system, I'm not sure what to say. I like Windows OS, so I bought this. If you don't like Windows OS, don't buy it. If you aren't familiar with Windows OS, watch some Youtube videos to familiarize yourself with Windows 10 before paying $110 for an OS you might not even like. It's hard to explain an operating system in words, you just kind of have to see it to get the feel of it. Sorry if that's not helpful, but I doubt me explaining every detail of Windows OS would be any more helpful to you. Youtube is much better for that kind of stuff.
