Microsoft Data Shows Windows 10 Is Very Close to Overtaking Windows 7

[Jack]

Windows 10 is now more than one year old, but Microsoft continues its efforts to move as many users as possible to the new operating system, and according to data provided by the company itself, this push is already paying off.

If you’re a long-time Microsoft watcher, you probably know that third-party market research firms put Windows 10 at approximately 20 percent market share, which is quite good for an operating system launched approximately 13 months ago.

But according to Microsoft’s own data, Windows 10 is doing a tad better, as it’s now running on 39 percent of Windows PCs. These figures are provided on the Developer resources page and include Windows Store trends, with Microsoft revealing that Windows 10 improved 3 percent in July 2016 from 36 percent in the month before.

I would suggest upgrading to Windows 10 from 7. I'm a huge fan of (nearly) everything about Windows 10.

Word of mouth, as this thread, and encouragements with such positively posted comments here on MT, were the primary and confidence inspiring resources which guided my own move from 8.1, as well as our older lap top from Windows 7 SP 1.

My wife, whom still pined for Windows 7 along with memories from when her Sony Vaio was new and lightening quick, purchased a reasonably priced/refurbished Dell (a tank of a laptop) which sported Windows 7 Home Premium. She's sent it back as it's Windows updates were stuck in a perpetual loop searching for updates whilst finding not a one. So, now the Vaio with Windows 10 (it's quite unanimous in our household) feels quite wonderful, and looks just great!

Of course I would recommend to go Win 10. There's no way I'm going to support future "abandon-ware" in 4-10 yrs time.

I was a lover of Windows 7, hated Windows 8, and now, love Windows 10.
=> 0 problem with updates for now

Once you get rid of most of the spyware, it is decent.

I will buy a Mac next time, I don't need all my info and browsing history being shared. Governmint already has it, not need for X number of corporations too.

If hardware is compatible with sufficient storage, then you can decide to Upgrade. If not, then don't risk losing your OS.

@Entreri I am afraid Siri uses Bing search engine, Microsoft spyware --- watch out.
