Nearly a quarter of Windows users are using Windows 11, Microsoft is disappointed

Overall, this is not a bad number with a platform as new as Windows 11, but the result is below Microsoft's expectations.

Microsoft doesn't provide official numbers on the popularity of Windows 11, so the only way to know how many people are currently using the latest version of Windows operating system is through analytics, statistics, and reports. third-party statements.

According to the latest statistics from Statcounter, as of the end of July 2023, Windows 11 currently accounts for about 23.68% of all Windows users worldwide. In other words, nearly a quarter of the global Windows PC system is running on Windows 11.

Overall, this is not a bad number with a platform as new as Windows 11, but the result is below Microsoft's expectations. In fact, statistics from a reputable market research company AdDuplex last year showed that by the end of June 2022, Windows 11 had achieved impressive growth, reaching 23% market share, and nearly as the second most popular version of Windows in the world. Given that there is an error in the statistical methods of Statcounter and AdDuplex, it is completely clear that the Windows 11 user base is almost 'stagnation'. This result goes against Microsoft's strong policy in encouraging users to update to Windows 11, accompanied by a series of attractive improvements and additions that enhance the experience on the new operating system.

In contrast, like Google Chrome in the browser market, Windows 10 is still the undisputed dominant name with a huge market share of 71.1%. At the beginning of the year, when Microsoft officially killed Windows 7, Windows 10 (but not Windows 11) attracted a large number of users, further cementing its dominant position in the Windows user community. Global.

 

However, with Windows 10 also approaching the 'end of life' and hardware manufacturers increasingly supporting Windows 11, it is not surprising if the trend of moving from Windows 10 to the new Windows platform takes place. stronger in the near future.

In general, up to now, the growth rate of Windows 11 is not as fast as Microsoft expected. According to Statcounter, after reaching the milestone of 23% in April 2023, Windows 11 still somewhat slowed down with only 23.68% market share as of the end of July.

As for Windows 7, the third most popular version of Windows, its 'crazy fan' user base has helped it maintain a flat market share of 3.7%. The remaining Windows releases, 8.1, 8 and XP, all have less than 1% market share.

  1. Windows 10 - 71.1%
  2. Windows 11 - 23.68%
  3. Windows 7 - 3.7%
  4. Windows 8.1 - 0.7%
  5. Windows 8 - 0.35%
