The share of Windows 11 continues to grow and in the month of September it recorded a new all-time high of 33.37%according to StatCounter data. The big question is the same one we’ve been asking ourselves out loud for a year. Will this degree of growth be enough to overtake Windows 10 in the short term?

You already know that Windows 10 will end its life in just one year, in October 2025. Currently Windows 10 Maintains Huge Adoption Rate of 62.79%. If the Windows 11 quota is not increased enough in the next twelve months, the industry will find itself with tens of millions of outdated computers (according to Microsoft’s commercial calendar) and, worse, also insecure due to the lack of adequate security patches.

A problem that occurred in the past (for example with Windows XP or 7) when the successor operating systems of other very successful failed to attract the majority of consumers in a short period of time. Windows 11 is the type with problems you know by heart that started with messy hardware requirements and continued with broken promises of new features, a problematic interface, more advertising and bloatware, and other components you don’t have. quite fall in love.

How can you increase Windows 11 quota?

The mere passage of time works in its favor, as Microsoft turned off the tap on Windows 10 licenses two years ago (if you need any, they’re almost given away here) and all new PCs sold with Windows 11 pre-installed. It’s a clear point to increase adoption.

Another is to convince Windows 10 users to migrate. Here, in addition to the “dark techniques” that the company practices from time to time, the ideal would be to improve Windows 11 to a point that is so much better that there will be no looking back. Only then will they convince those of us who are still on Windows 10. And that’s where the new version of Windows 11 24H2 comes in, which we expect in the coming weeks.

And the rest of the systems?

Little variation. Windows monopolizes the desktop, while Apple’s macOS is estimated at 10% and Linux at over 2%. Overall, Android almost doubles Windows with a quota that continues to grow and exceeds 46%. Windows in total is at 25%, while Apple’s iOS exceeds 18%. Confirming the greater importance of mobility compared to a computer desk.
