Since its release in July 2015, the proportion of the operating system Windows 10 continues to increase. In the last month of 2015, Windows 10 became the third most popular operating system in the world. And while Microsoft was happy about the successful launch of Windows 10, the new statistics of the analytical agency StatCounter came.
Despite the fact that Windows 10 is still far behind the most popular Windows 7 operating system, StatCounter statistics show that by the middle of the first month of 2016, Windows 10 rose one line higher, taking the second place among the most popular OS and overtaking the Windows operating system 8.1.
Currently, Windows 7 is still at the forefront of the PC market and accounts for 46.7 percent of all computers in the world, the proportion of Windows 10 in the last six weeks since the last report has increased dramatically and now stands at 13.41 percent. In third place with 11.81 percent is Windows 8.1. The fourth place is occupied by OS X from Apple with its 8.84 percent. The popularity of the once widespread operating system, Windows XP, is slowly but surely shrinking and now stands at 8.12 percent.
Such numbers should definitely encourage the company, especially considering that Microsoft would very much like that by 2017, the Windows 10 operating system was installed on 1 billion devices worldwide. More and more large companies, as well as ordinary users, are starting to switch to a new OS, therefore the task set by the company is only a matter of time.
Distribution of Windows 10 as a free update for owners of licensed copies of Windows 7/8 / 8.1 will continue until July 29, 2016. However, enterprises that want to upgrade to a new OS are already having to pay. Microsoft, nevertheless, hopes that all the same will move to Windows 10, so its aggressive expansion will continue in the coming months.
