More PCs run Windows XP than Windows 11
Miscellaneous / / April 22, 2022
Although Microsoft is actively promoting Windows 11, distribution of this version is slow. New market research from Lansweeper (an enterprise software customization company) shows that Windows 11 is inferior not only to the popular Windows 10, but also to older builds.
Windows 7 runs on approximately 4.7% of the computers analyzed by the experts, while Windows XP accounts for 1.71%. And this is still more than Windows 11 with 1.44%. Windows 10 remains the undisputed leader - it is installed on 80.34% of computers. Such popularity is attributed to the ease of updating at the release of the system - compared to the many limitations that Windows 11 has.
Lansweeper data based on analysis of 30 million computers from 60 thousand companies and organizations show that only 44.4% of these machines meet Microsoft's conditions for upgrading to a new version systems.
While Microsoft later allowed Windows 11 to be manually installed on non-compatible PCs, not everyone is ready to do it. In addition, it is important to consider that corporate computers were analyzed. System administrators are unlikely to take the risk of breaking a device with an update as long as Windows 10 is still receiving security updates and working correctly.
