Here is the latest report from Valve showing hardware and software preferences among Steam users. The November 2022 Steam Hardware & Software Survey reveals a notable spike in Windows 11 market share and a corresponding reduction in those using Windows 10.

According to Valve, Windows 11 on Steam is experiencing one of the most significant influx of users since its introduction. The November 2022 report shows Windows 11 climbing to 27.98%, +4.61 compared with the previous month. Windows 10 has lost 3.31 points, settling at 65.60%. One possible explanation of such a spike is the release of the Windows 11 2022 Update and its gaming-related features (even though Microsoft has blocked access to the update for some due to confirmed performance degradations).

64-bit Windows 7 remains the third most popular Windows version on Steam with 1.88% (-1.71%), and 64-bit Windows 8.1 is fourth with 0.41% (+0.01). 32-bit Windows 7 closes the top five list with a puny 0.11% market share.

The March 2023 Steam Hardware & Software Survey highlight this better than ever before. According to the stats, 97.75% of Steam users are using Windows. While it is remarkable that Windows usage is increasing, by 1.73% over February 2023, it is the huge drop of Microsoft's newest operating system Windows 11 and the equally huge increase of Windows 10 that is remarkable. According to the stats. Windows 10 usage increased by 10.40% to 73.85% on Steam. Windows 11 usage dropped by 7.92% at the same time to 22.41%. Last month, Windows 11 crossed the 30% mark for the first time, only to be pushed back to less than 23% this month. While it is in theory possible that a major Windows 11 bug caused almost a quarter of Windows 11 devices to be downgraded to Windows 10, there is a simple explanation for the development.

10 is proven and stable OS, 11 is still the Insider version, regardless of what MS claims. Not to mention forced upgrades and insane requirements, people/gamers just got fed up with 11.
