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.

The Usb Flash drive is paper thin

The Usb Flash drive is paper thin
I haven't had any major issues with windows 10 the main issue I have with the product I bought. I bought the windows 10 USB Flash drive because I built a pc without a optical drive since everything I do is digital. The usb you get is a joke its almost paper thin and feels like it would snap or bend with the slightest pressure which is a shame since i payed $40 more for the usb version over the disc version. I could've bought the cd and put it on a more sturdy flash drive for less then what I payed for basically a paper usb . Silly me I know bought I honestly thought I would get a quality usb drive
Thank you for your feedback
