With the end of Windows 10 support on our heels, we’ve been wondering how Windows 11 adoption is progressing. It’s no secret that Microsoft’s new operating system it was difficult for him to take offmainly due to its 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 launch. Microsoft’s most recent operating system closed last October, owning 35.58% of the market share of Windows operating systems.
Windows 10 is still king
Windows 10, for its part, had a 60.95% market share in October. Microsoft’s operating system released in July 2015 remains the favorite of most PC users, presumably also in corporate environments where a migration to a new version of Windows is usually more complicated to carry out.
So, is Windows 11 adoption really being that slow, or was the same thing happening with Windows 10 and we’ve already forgotten about it? The answer is in data, the magical data. Using Statista again, we can go back in time to see how Windows 10 adoption evolved on a given date.
If we look back at July 2018, we discover that Windows 10 had 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 appearing on the scene.

At that time, Microsoft’s second most used operating system was Windows 7, and it had a market share of 39.06%. Looking at it from another perspective, the newest product at that time (Windows 10) had surpassed all previous Microsoft products, something that is not happening today.
Windows 10
Windows as an operating system has improved a lot over time. It has become an increasingly solid and robust proposal, correcting Bugs from previous versions. Now, despite this, Windows 11 has had its own drawbacks, with updates that cause problems and new features that never arrive.
Those who want to continue using an updated Windows 10 after the end of support scheduled for October 14, 2025 will be able to access the Extended Security Updates (ESU) program for the first time in history. Let us remember that this possibility was exclusive to corporate clients.

They must checkout to continue receiving updates. A one-time payment of $30 It will open the door to continue receiving security updates for a maximum period of one year. There will be no possibility of paying again to renew your stay in the program, so this will be the end of definitive support.
