With Windows 10 support ending, we were wondering how Windows 11 adoption was progressing. It’s no secret that Microsoft has a new operating system. It was hard for him to get up.Mainly due to demanding hardware requirements, but what do the numbers tell us?

The latest data published by Statista is particularly interesting because it reveals the status of Windows 11 three years after its release. Microsoft’s newest operating system shut down last October, leaving Windows operating systems with 35.58% of the market share.

Windows 10 is still king

Windows 10 had a feature to its name: 60.95% market share In October. Microsoft’s operating system, released in July 2015, remains a favorite among most computer users; possibly also in enterprise environments where migrating to a new Windows version is often more complex.

So, is Windows 11 adoption really that slow, or was the same thing happening with Windows 10 and have we already forgotten about it? The answer is in data, magic data. Using Statista again, we can go back in time to see how Windows 10 adoption was evolving at a specific date.

Looking back to July 2018, Windows 10 was a 47.25% market share. We are talking about a percentage that reflects the adoption of this system three years after its launch. Windows 11, as we have seen in the previous lines, goes much further back three years after it came on the scene.

At that time, Microsoft’s second most used operating system was Windows 7, with a market share of 39.06%. Looked at from another perspective, the newest product at the time (Windows 10) had surpassed all previous Microsoft products, this does not happen today.

Windows as an operating system has evolved a lot over time. It has gradually become a more solid and solid proposition; Bugs in previous versions. Even so, Windows 11 had its drawbacks, with updates causing problems and new features that never arrived.

Those who want to continue using the updated Windows 10 after the end of support planned for October 14, 2025 will have access to the Extended Security Updates (ESU) program for the first time in history. Let’s not forget that this opportunity is exclusive to corporate customers.

They need to pay to continue receiving updates. One-time payment of $30 It will open the door to continuing to receive security updates for a maximum of one year. This will be the end of definitive support as there will be no possibility to pay again to renew your stay in the programme.
