Windows 11 market share varies widely depending on the information we take as a reference. Judging by the StatCounter data, this operating system is a “failure” because still failed to reach 30% total market share. However, if we look at the data presented by Steam, which is limited to its users who agree to participate in its monthly survey, we see that the mentioned operating system He is doing much better.

Data from Steam’s latest hardware and software survey reveals that Windows 11 has a hand in this 46.63%, and that it has seen an increase of 0.55% over the last month. Windows 10 plays a part in this 49.42% and decreased by 0.93% during the month of June. The rest of the Windows versions have a “token” presence on Steam.

The numbers are very clear, Windows 10 wins by 2.79%, a minimal difference, so much so that Windows 11 could surpass it in a month or two if it maintains a steady growth trend. Of course, these numbers conflict with those shown by StatCounter, but it makes sense, since Steam is limited to collecting information from the computers of its users who are PC gamers, while StatCounter collects information from a more general profile.

Both measure in a different way and They have a different user base, so it stands to reason that the results are different. It should also be taken into account that none of them fully reflect the market share of these operating systems. This is something that is impossible for any company other than Microsoft, so we always move on estimates and concrete levels.

In the case of Steam, the data is more reliable because are limited to users of their platformand because they must agree to participate in it. If they do not agree to participate in the survey, their data will not be taken into account and therefore will not affect the calculation of the average market share of each category.

The Steam survey for the month of June also reaffirms the company’s position GeForce RTX 3060 as the most used graphics card with 5.50%, although it decreased slightly. The most used processors are from Intel with 65.89% compared to 34.11% from AMD and most have a 6-core configuration (32.63%). It still runs 16GB of RAM and the same goes for 8GB of VRAM, which is the most used configuration on Steam.
