"With just days remaining until Microsoft discontinues free support, Windows 10 still accounts for 40.5 percent of the Windows desktop market, At the same time, Windows 11 adoption remains at just 48.94 percent. The figures come from the Statcounter tracking code, which is installed on more than 1.5 million sites. While not comprehensive, they represenrt the best indicator in the absence of official figures from Microsoft."
"Microsoft claims to put "security above all else," yet will deliberately leaving millions of customers without security protections if the latest market share figures are correct. Petitions - in Europe and the US - urging the company to extend updates have been met with only limited concessions for specific consumer segments. Windows 10 devices won't suddenly stop working on October 14. However, the date will mark the end of updates, and only the most ardent Microsoft apologists would claim the OS is without vulnerabilities."
Windows 10 retains 40.5% of the Windows desktop market while Windows 11 adoption reaches 48.94% based on Statcounter data from over 1.5 million sites. A year ago Windows 10 held 62.75% versus Windows 11's 33.42%, so migration toward Windows 11 has been measured. Free security updates for Windows 10 end after October 14, leaving many users without patches unless they purchase Extended Security Updates (ESUs). Enterprises are advised to buy ESUs; consumers confront unclear choices amid persistent upgrade prompts. Petitions for extended updates have produced only limited concessions for select consumer groups.
