Last January was when Microsoft finished supporting the Windows 7 operating system. Currently the company only offers support for the Windows 10 operating system, which has been on the market for more than 5 years. Microsoft does not plan to launch a new operating system in a long time, since Windows 10 already has almost the 75% market share.
Something quite curious is that the adoption rate of Windows 10 during its first years has been very slow. Windows 7 had a lot of market share and acceptance, especially because Windows 8 never really took off. Windows 10 has been growing in users slowly but steadily.
Windows 10 already has practically a 75% market share
Microsoft with Windows 10 has given all the facilities in the world, even installing it without a license. The company allows you to download it from its website and we can install it with a simple watermark. This removes hacking from the operating system, increases user safety, and serves as a trial period. Many end up acquiring a low-cost license after a while.
After two years Windows 10 on the market, operating systems such as Windows XP or Windows 7 were still preferred. After that two-year period, Windows 10 had barely reached 25% market share. Debian competing with operating systems highly rated by users, who were reluctant to change.
We only have to see that in a year it has grown by 10% in terms of share, especially from November 2019 to April 2020 is when it has grown the most. Interestingly, in May and July it has had two slight decreases in terms of market share. Windows 7 for its part refuses to fall into oblivion despite lacking official support.
