According to the latest data from StatCounter, in early February, 60.37% of the computers managed by Windows use Windows 10while 36.6% use Windows 11 and 2.27% still use Windows 7. Windows 8, Windows 8.1 and Windows XP have a percentage of less than 0.4%.
In vapor is different but not much
If we throw an overview of the steam, the figures are very different. At present, Windows 11 is the operating system preferred by the 53 46% Users who use this platform, while Windows is still in the 42.87%.
If it is true that Windows 11 exceeds steam in addition to 10 points to Windows 10, the quota of the latest version of the Microsoft operating system is still far from ideal, demonstrates at least that players using the Steam if they know the advantages and advantages offered by Windows 11 compared to Windows 10 in the Games section.
Will Microsoft extend the end of Windows support?
When Windows 10 stops receiving official assistance from Microsoft, this means that the registered office of Redmond will not launch any update for this, even if they are detected serious vulnerability This has put the data from the affected equipment.
As has already happened with the previous Windows versions, companies that have not had time to update their teams (since 2021, they have had enough time), they can hire the Extended support programA program that will cost $ 60 in the first year, $ 120 in the second year and 240 dollars the third and last year.
Private users only have the possibility of hiring a year of extended support for $ 30. We are talking about dollars because these are the prices that Microsoft has announced in the United States. Currently, we do not know what the price in Europe will be.
Microsoft's intention does not go through the end of the assistance scheduled for October 15, 2025. For 2021, 4 years have passed so that users update their old team to update and offer encryption via du Hardware, not via software so far, to make friends more difficult.
Microsoft wants to end the agony which supposes the adoption of Windows 11 by users, a problem which would not have taken place if this version of Windows did not have the requirement of the TPM 2.0 chip, the main culprit of its low adoption.
As much as Microsoft insists on continuing to add AI functions In your applications, in addition to adding Co -pilotCurrently, they seem to be sufficient reasons to encourage the purchase of new equipment. It is assumed that, as the date of support for the end of Windows 10, the market share of steam and in general, is triggered in favor of Windows 11.
Although it is true that the use Ubuntu As Linux distribution, this is a very good solution, I doubt that users choose to modify the operating system with all that implies in applications.
