Neowin reports that the latest figures from Statcounter reveal that in March 2025, Windows 11 closed in further on its predecessor. If the trend continues at the same pace, in a few months Windows 11 could finally sit on the throne as Microsoft’s biggest operating system by market share.
As it turns out, March was a particularly bad month for Windows 10. The aging operating system saw its biggest drop in user base to date, a whopping 4.43 percentage points. Windows 10 is now running on 54.23 percent of Windows computers worldwide.
On the other hand, Windows 11 saw its biggest user growth in three years. The share of Windows 11 users grew by 4.53 percentage points, to 42.66 percent of all Windows desktop users. That’s still significantly behind Windows 10, but it’s the rate that’s important here.
It seems Microsoft’s constant alerts about Windows 10 reaching end of support in October are finally showing results. With just six months to go, users are running out of time.
If you’re still on Windows 10, you’ll need to upgrade to Windows 11 or pay to extend Windows 10 support. If you do neither, you’ll stop receiving security updates and your PC will become increasingly vulnerable to malware, hackers, and other threats.
