Windows 10, on the other hand, lost a notable chunk of users, going down from 69.31% in October 2023 to 68% in November 2023. It is now on the same level as it was one year ago, just one month before Microsoft stopped supporting Windows 7. After January 2023, Windows 10 experienced a sudden increase in its market share, which slowly decreased during 2023 as more users upgraded their computers to Windows 11.
Windows 7 still holds roughly 3.16% of the market, and its customers seem to be indifferent to the fact that Microsoft no longer provides security updates and other critical patches. Windows 8.1 has 1.34%, and Windows XP is at 0.45%.
- Windows 10: 68% (-1.31 points)
- Windows 11: 26.66% (+0.49 points)
- Windows 7: 3.16% (+0.15 points)
- Windows 8.1: 1.34% (+0.61 points)
- Windows XP: 0.46% (+0.13 points)
In case you missed it, a report recently revealed that Windows 11 is now installed on more than 400 million monthly active computers, which beat Microsoft"s initial expectations. 400 million+ Windows 11 devices and over 1 billion Windows 10 machines align with Statcounter"s estimations, giving users and developers a more-or-less precise breakdown of the Windows market.
