Windows 11 has nearly caught up to Windows 10 with market share spike
According to the latest statistics from Statcounter, 47.8 percent of desktop Windows users are now running Windows 11, which means that the operating system has pretty much caught up with its predecessor Windows 10, which now sits at 48.9 percent of market share.
The data shows a noticeable jump in Windows 11 users between May 2025 and June 2025, with market share getting a significant boost of 4.76 percentage points—and nearly all of it taken away from Windows 10.
Microsoft’s recent hard push to promote Windows 11’s benefits and scare Windows 10 users with the looming end-of-support deadline seems to be working. If the pace keeps up, Windows 11 should officially sit atop the throne by the end of July and the market share numbers will likely continue to grow from there.
The Statcounter data also shows that 2.2 percent of Windows users are still on Windows 7, while 0.6 percent are still on Windows 8 or 8.1. An astonishing 0.43 percent are somehow still managing to get by on Windows XP, which lost support over a decade ago.
