Finally, as we told you when Windows 11 22H2 was released it turned out that it did not bring under the arm all the news that we initially expected, because some of them will arrive later with the Moments 1 and Moments 2 updates, the tabs in the file browser (which you can activate if you want), the new photo feature and more, they will make us wait a little longer plus . I personally think, and I’ve said it before, that Microsoft is right to reduce the size of updates to reduce the risk of concurrent failures. However, this means that the updates are not as attractive, reducing its ability to attract more users.

Be that as it may, this update It was expected to be a major milestone in Windows 11 adoption users who are still on previous versions, especially on Windows 10, but still with some users who remain on Windows 7 and Windows 8. And let’s look at the data source, in all cases we see that today the most used version and by far is Windows 10. Something that is obviously against Microsoft’s interests.

However, we see how the trend, sometimes slower and sometimes faster, indicates that the jump will not stop. It’s not happening at a great rate (if we average it since it launched, we get about 2% per month since it launched, though it obviously hasn’t happened evenly, at that rate), but it shows us that the transition is maintaining it. And yes, that’s great news for Microsoft.

The latest sample along these lines is found in the monthly Steam survey, a survey the platform conducts regularly that provides a fairly complete X-ray of the hardware and software used by gamers. And as we can read in the September report, during this last month the share of Windows 11 users increased by 1.06% to 24.84%, touching the door symbolic 25%this means that every fourth Windows user is already using its latest version.

These numbers may have been compromised by initial Windows 11 22H2 issues with NVIDIA graphics cards, a problem that the tech itself confirmed. However, a quick response from his side in the form of a driver update prevented this issue from escalating and forced users to roll back the update or, failing that, suffer a penalty for said issue. And it’s because, according to the same September survey, NVIDIA maintains a large market dominance, with a share of at least 77%10% more than the data obtained in June.
