Overview

  • Windows 11's market share fell to 25.65% in April, while Windows 10 rose to over 70%, indicating a strong preference for the older system.
  • Microsoft's efforts to transition users from Windows 10 to Windows 11 are hindered by the popularity of refurbished, cheaper PCs with Windows 10.
  • Advanced requirements for Windows 11, such as TPM and newer CPUs, prevent many from upgrading, contributing to its lagging adoption.
  • Despite a slight increase among gamers, overall Windows 11 adoption remains low compared to its predecessor.
  • Microsoft plans to introduce AI features and other updates to boost Windows 11's appeal, but user skepticism persists.
