Microsoft also notes that it has received over 200,000 pieces of feedback through the Windows Feedback app. The most common requests include the ability to remove the search and task view buttons from the taskbar, add an animation when opening the Start menu, and make it easier to use local accounts.

When testing unfinished software, it's usually recommended to install the operating system in a virtual machine, but with Windows 10, the numbers show otherwise. According to Microsoft, Windows 10 is tested more often on physical PCs than virtual machines. Microsoft's telemetry shows that 36 percent of installations occur on VMs, while the remaining 64 percent of installations occur on actual PCs. (But this certainly suggests that Windows 10 is ready to replace your primary stable operating system.)
