Will the upcoming Windows 11 24H2 update help Microsoft boost the adoption of Windows 11?
Microsoft continues to struggle with the adoption of Windows 11 among its users. Recent data from Statcounter reveals a notable decline in the operating system’s market share, specifically compared with Windows 10.
Recommended Videos From March to April 2024, Windows 11 market share decreased by over a full percentage point, from 26.68% to 25.65%. The majority of these users seem to have moved back to Windows 10 and even though it is nearing its ninth year, the previous OS surged past the 70% mark for the first time since September 2023, gaining 0.96 point.
Microsoft is set to unveil innovative AI capabilities for Windows 11, potentially offering a compelling reason for users to transition from Windows 10. However, there have been several reports suggesting that certain features may be exclusive to PCs running on newer hardware. Consequently, customers who opt against upgrading their PCs may find themselves needing more incentive to remain with Windows 11.
