Microsoft is trying to drive Windows users to Windows 11. However, in recent months, the operating system has seen a decline in users. Artificial intelligence features such as Copilot seem to have managed to prevent this decline. Here are the most popular Windows versions.
Most popular Windows versions (May 2024)
Windows 11, which has seen a significant drop in the number of users over the past two months, has managed to regain its lost users according to the latest data. According to Statcounter’s May figures, the operating system reached 27.76 percent share, up 1.33 percentage points compared to April.
This recovery comes after Windows 11 lost users in previous months. This made it the only version of Windows to lose users despite receiving updates. But artificial intelligence features like Copilot have brought Windows 11 back into the race.
Despite winning back users, Windows 11 continues to lag behind Windows 10, which had 68.34 percent share in May. Windows 10, however, lost 1.69 percent market share last month.
- Windows 10 – 68.34 percent (-1.69 points)
- Windows 11 – 27.76 percent (+1.33 points)
- Windows 7 – 2.86 percent (+0.05 points)
- Windows 8.1 – 0.43 percent
- Windows XP – 0.37 percent (+0.04 points)
According to the survey results, Windows 7, which has not been supported for many years, is in third place with a share of 2.86 percent. More surprisingly, Windows XP’s small share increased to 0.37 percent.
