Despite the strong rejection that Windows 11 caused at its launch, the truth is that Microsoft’s new operating system is quickly gaining ground against Windows 10, at least according to the latest data shared by Steam through its hardware and software survey, where we can see those versions mentioned still growing at the cost of Windows 10 crash.

To give a little more context to the results that we are going to discuss below, I remind you that almost a year and a half ago, in January 2022, the share of Windows 10 on Steam was 77.82%. In April 2022, Windows 11 reached a 19% usage share on said platform and closed with 35.75% in June 2023, leaving us with an increase of 16% in just over a year.

Right now, Windows 10 maintains a share of 59.43%, and the monthly growth rate of Windows 11 has been growing at a significant pace, which means that if the current trend continues, Windows 11 could become the most used operating system on Steam in less than a year.

The launch of Windows 11 took place in October 2021, so if this prediction comes true, which is quite likely, Microsoft’s new operating system would need less than three years to surpass Windows 10 in number of users on Steam, an important achievement, no doubt.

Windows 11 is growing on Steam and GeForce GTX 1650 is leading

The most powerful and best placed graphics card is GeForce RTX 370, which manages to enter the top 10 with a share of 2.90%. It is the most used in the AMD catalog Radeon RX 580 with a 1% share and in the new generation NVIDIA the GeForce RTX 4060 Mobile It is the best placed solution with a share of 0.79% and has grown the most (up 0.49% for the month).
