Four years after its initial release, Windows 11 has finally caught up to the outgoing Windows 10. According to the latest data from StatCounter, Windows 11's market share is now nearly identical to Windows 10's worldwide.
In June 2025, Windows 11 made one of the biggest jumps in its history, going from 43.22% to 47.98% (+4.76 points). Such a big increase in one month was only observed a couple of months after the initial launch. In January 2022, Windows 11 went from 2.6% to 7.89% (+5.29 points). Year-over-year growth is +18.23 points.
Windows 10 is the only contributor to Windows 11's market share increase. As Windows 11 grows, Windows 10 shrinks. During the last month, Windows 10 lost 4.43 points, going from 53.19% to 48.76%. While Windows 10 is still more popular than Windows 11, the difference is now less than 1% worldwide. However, in certain countries, Windows 11 is already the most popular Windows release. For example, in the US, it has 54.72%, in the UK, 59.01%, and in Canada, 51.58%.
Windows 10 is only three months away from the end of support, and Microsoft is letting users get one more year of security updates for free. As such, do not expect Windows 10 to descend to the Windows 7 level with its 2.19%. Enterprise users can continue receiving extended security updates for three more years (only one year for regular customers). Also, considering that Microsoft is not willing to lower Windows 11's hardware requirements, a lot of computers will remain stuck on Windows 10 for years to come. After all, someone out there is still using Windows XP, judging by its 0.43% market share as reported by StatCounter. With over 1.4 billion Windows users, even half a percent is quite a lot of PCs.
