Windows 11 has finally overtaken Windows 10 as the most used desktop OS

Windows 11 has finally passed Windows 10 in usage. It’s an important milestone for Microsoft ahead of Windows 10’s end of support.

Microsoft has finally crossed an important milestone for Windows 11, months ahead of Windows 10’s end of support cutoff date. Stat Counter, spotted by Windows Central, now lists Windows 11 as the most used desktop operating system nearly four years after its release, with 52 percent of the market, compared to 44.59 percent for Windows 10. Windows 11 became the most popular OS for PC gaming in September, but overall adoption had still been lagging behind Windows 10 until now.

Part of the slow adoption is down to Windows 11’s hardware requirements. While Microsoft offered a free upgrade to Windows 10 users, millions of machines have been left behind due to stricter CPU and security requirements. Microsoft has been trying to convince the owners of these machines to upgrade their hardware in order to get Windows 11, sometimes with a full-screen prompt.
