Windows 11 market share grows, but Windows 10 still twice as popular

Windows 11 market share grows, but Windows 10 still twice as popular
According to Neowin, Statcounter’s latest Windows usage figures show that Windows 11’s market share has finally started closing in on Windows 10, but its predecessor still has a huge lead.

The overall share of Windows 10 users now sits at 60.95 percent, which is down 1.8 percentage points from the last survey, while the overall share of Windows 11 users has increased by 2.13 percentage points to 35.55 percent. That means just over twice as many people are still using Microsoft’s older operating system, but the company will probably think the numbers are at least heading in the right direction.

Just a few months ago, we reported that Windows 11 had overtaken Windows 10 as the most popular operating system among Steam users, so this trend seems to track. Slowly but surely, people are migrating to Windows 11, even as we recently passed the operating system’s three-year anniversary milestone. But given the slow pace, it’s likely that switchers are mainly users who have had to replace their dying PCs with new ones — ones that come pre-loaded with Windows 11.

There’s also the upcoming end of support for Windows 10, which is set to hit on October 14, 2025. As we inch closer to that date, we’re likely to see that pace of migration accelerate. For anyone who’s still on Windows 10 and wants to keep with it after end-of-support, it’ll be possible — but it’s going to cost extra, and it won’t be permanent.
