Windows 11 market share reaches new peak.

According to TechSpot , Windows 11's market share grew significantly in January, reaching an all-time high of 36.6%. However, Windows 10 remains the most popular operating system with an overwhelming market share of 60.37%.

According to data from StatCounter, Windows 11 has increased by 2.5 percentage points compared to December 2024. This growth indicates that users are gradually switching to Windows 11, especially as the end of Windows 10 support (October 2025) is approaching.

Nevertheless, Windows 10 still holds a dominant position in the operating system market. Many users remain loyal to Windows 10 for various reasons. Some users are concerned about advertising-related issues in Windows 11.

Furthermore, Windows 11's hardware requirements are also a major obstacle. The operating system requires TPM 2.0, a feature that many older motherboards do not support. This prevents many users from upgrading to Windows 11 without spending a significant amount of money on hardware replacements.

Besides Windows 10 and Windows 11, older versions of Windows such as Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows XP still have a significant user base. Even Windows 7, despite ending its support lifecycle in 2020, still holds a 2.24% market share.

While trying to persuade users to switch to Windows 11, Microsoft hasn't forgotten to 'take care' of Windows 10. Recently, the company tested a new feature for Windows 10: a new calendar in the taskbar. This shows that Microsoft still cares about Windows 10 users, even as they are focusing on Windows 11.

Can Windows 11 surpass Windows 10 to become the most popular operating system? The answer depends on whether Microsoft can address user concerns about Windows 11, and whether they continue to support Windows 10 after its end-of-life period.
