- Windows 11 has won a 2.5% market share in January 2025
- That is a considerable increase that would generally take two months
- Wait that the rhythm of the updates increases as the end deadline of October 2025 for Windows 10 is approaching
Windows 11 obtained a lot of converts during the past month, according to a new statistics lot of an analysis company.
Statcounter registered a great gain for Windows 11 with its January 2025 market share (of all Windows versions worldwide), namely an increase of 2.53%. Windows 11 is now in a 36.65% share compared to the previous month when it was at 34.12%.
We have seen recent profits that reach 2%, but an increase of 2.5% is a new ups and downs here (an increase that generally occurred in the course of two months, as seen last year).
Windows 10 fell from 62.7% to 60.33%, so you are not the illusions that the oldest operating system has yet been destroyed; It remains the reigning monarch by enough margin (far from PC players, who have adopted a lot of Windows 11 faster).
However, the margin between Windows 11 and Windows 10 is constantly decreasing, and is now at an advantage of only 23.7% for the latter.
Windows 7 fell by 0.17%, but most people migrate to Windows 11 came from Windows 10, as numbers increase and decrease for both operating systems clearly illustrate.
However, it is not surprising that more people change to Windows 11, since the deadline for the end of the life of Windows 10, when the updates are no longer delivered to the operating system, is October 2025, which is only eight months away.
ANALYSIS: An inevitable migration
Since time flies apparently faster and faster these days (don’t tell me that I am the only one who has noticed), six months will have gone before you realize, and that the Windows support deadline 10 will be on the horizon as a large, red and intermittent warning signal. (One who proclaims: “Update now, or put your PC at risk due to new vulnerabilities in Windows 10 that will not be paveled by security updates”).
Well, outside the deserting to another operating system, there is another option instead of updating Windows 11, and that is paying an additional year of support for Windows 10: in fact, it is the first time that consumers are He has offered this option. However, in some way, that is just postponing the inevitable.
What we are starting to see here, I think, are the first signals of The Rush only to perform the update, something that I have advised is the best course of action at this time. After all, why pass the time, especially if you need to order something for your PC to be eligible for update, which could be as simple as turning an option in the BIOS to enable TPM 2.0?
Windows Last, who saw the launch of the new statistics for Windows versions, observes that companies, which obviously need much more planning for an update in a fleet of computers, are already making the movement to Windows 11. And that activity will represent A great increases the new operating system. A IT administrator who has more than 1,500 PC in his care told him to the technology site: “We have been testing Windows 11 for months, and we believe it is the [right] It’s time to get away from Windows 10 “.
In theory, there should be even greater advice in the market share towards Windows 11 as 2025 progresses. In fact, I would worry if this were not the case. Given how slow the adoption of Windows 11 in general in its existence, it is likely that we will witness 5% of shifts, month by month, moving to the newest operating system of Microsoft, or even greater.
