Windows 11 Usage Rate Exceeded 5%

While 5% of PC users are running Windows 11, 90% of Windows PCs are now running the current 2020-2021 versions of the operating system.

AdDuplex, the largest cross-promotion network for Windows Store apps and games, surveyed nearly 60,000 systems running Windows 10 or 11. In the results, the total rate of the new operating system was recorded as 4.8%. Windows Insiders running beta versions of Windows 11 made up the remaining 0.3% of the user base, bringing the Windows 11 usage rate to a total of 5.1%.

The survey also shows that most systems are still running various versions of Windows 10. Windows 10 21H1 is found in 37.6% of computers, while Windows 10 20H2 is used in 34% of systems. Overall, more than 90 percent of Windows 10/11 computers are now on the 2020-2021 versions of the operating system.

As you know, Windows 11 is being introduced gradually and a new phase has recently started. The company recently began leveraging its next-generation machine learning model to offer upgrades to its expanded suite of eligible devices. “We recommend upgrading your devices to Windows 11 to take advantage of the latest features and advanced protections against security threats,” Microsoft said. says.

Microsoft has also started to force-install the PC Heath Check app on Windows 10 devices. While the tool checks whether a system is eligible for an upgrade to Windows 11, different features were also made available with the current version.

While the adoption rate of Windows 11 is gaining some momentum, controversial system requirements will undoubtedly negatively affect this progress. In particular, the technology giant’s TPM 2.0 requirement was met with a great reaction from users. But of course there are ways to circumvent these requirements, and an enthusiast recently managed to run Windows 11 on a single-core Intel Pentium 4 chip from 15 years ago.
