On October 5, 2021, Microsoft launched Windows 11. It’s been two years to the day, but in terms of market share, it’s still the forerunner that reigns supreme. In data from Statcounter it appears that Windows 10 still occupies just over 71 percent of Windows’ total market share, while Windows 11 only accounts for just over 23 percent.

Limited to Sweden, the percentage with Windows 10 is even slightly higher – a total of 79.5 percent of Windows users remain with the older operating system. This despite relatively aggressive campaigns from Microsoft and the possibility to upgrade directly via Windows Update.
The shift to Windows 11 is going significantly better than the not very successful attempt with Windows 8, but compared to its predecessor it is going slower. Statcounter’s data goes back several years, and when Windows 10 turned two years old, it can be seen that the operating system managed to capture almost 33 percent of the market share, i.e. 10 percentage points more.
Windows 11 has received both rice and praise since its launch. Much of the early criticism was directed at the strict hardware requirements, which include requirements for a relatively modern processor as well as support for the security features TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot. Windows 10 officially lives on until the year 2025, but no longer receives any major updates.
