Windows 11 continues its ascent, with 16% of PCs converted as of January 2022

AdDuplex has been keeping tabs on approximately 60,000 PCs for a few months now in order to report on how much growth Windows eleven is managing. Information technology's gone from over i% marketplace share before the operating system's official Oct 25, 2022 release to a whopping sixteen.5% every bit of January 2022.

Co-ordinate to the report, that sixteen.5% figure is broken upwardly as such: 16.1% of PCs surveyed were on normal Windows 11, while 0.4% were on the Insider runway. Meanwhile, the remaining 83.v% of computers stayed with various iterations of Windows 10. You can run into the granular breakup over at AdDuplex's writeup.

"While Windows 11 has almost doubled its share, Windows 10 21H2 more than than tripled in the aforementioned period," says AdDuplex. "As many older PCs can't upgrade to Windows 11, it will be interesting to see where these numbers settle over time."

The survey doesn't provide details on the motivations for the market share shifts, though it's natural for newer Windows variants to overtake older ones because individuals and organizations desire to keep their technology relevant. There are outliers to this general truth, however, as evidenced by the staying power of Windows XP.

There is a chance the upgrades are also being spurred by Windows 11's general quality bar, which, according to Microsoft, has seen "the highest quality scores and product satisfaction of any version of Windows we've always shipped."
