This number of 1 billion devices includes PCs, laptops, Xbox One and HoloLens running Microsoft's latest operating system. Microsoft has achieved its first goal, albeit two years later than expected.

The software giant plans to reach 1 billion devices running Windows 10, within 3 years of the operating system being released. However, Microsoft had to extend the expected time, because Windows Phone could not compete with iOS and Android. Finally, Microsoft has reached this milestone after 5 years.

This milestone is also partly due to the end of support for the Windows 7 operating system. Obviously, businesses upgrading from Windows 7 to Windows 10 helped Microsoft achieve this milestone more quickly.. When 900 million devices running Windows 10 increased to 1 billion devices in less than a month.
