Home windows 10 moved proportionately within the different route, dropping a proportion level to 64.99%, however remaining in pole place, in fact.
Whereas Microsoft will probably be happy to crack the 30% barrier, this has been a very long time coming seeing because it was again in March 2023 that Home windows 11 crested the 20% mark. So, getting this newest 10% improve has taken a yr and 4 months, almost so long as it took reaching 20% within the first place.

All the guarantees about Copilot being a super-smart assistant which might change Home windows settings for you (perhaps a number of settings in a single fell swoop) appear to have gone out the, er, window – for now, this aspect of the AI’s performance seems to be going nowhere. On prime of that, Microsoft’s largest new AI function, Recall – for Copilot+ PCs – crashed and burned in outstanding vogue too. AI-wise, issues aren’t going so nicely for Home windows 11 proper now.
That mentioned, Copilot+ PCs do nonetheless include some nifty AI powers, and so they went on sale in June, so the most recent upticks for Home windows 11 may nicely, to some extent, be helped by the arrival of those units on cabinets.
Taking the angle of an total stage, although, it is perhaps ideas of the approaching demise of Home windows 10 subsequent yr – when it runs out of assist – that basically drives of us to leap on the Home windows 11 wagon.
