"Despite the negativity surrounding the current version of Windows, it remains the most widely used operating system on the world's desktop and laptop computers, and people usually prefer to stick to what they're used to. As a result, Windows 11 has just cleared a big milestone-Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella said on the company's most recent earnings call ( via The Verge) that Windows 11 now has over 1 billion users worldwide."
"That's especially notable because Windows 10 was initially offered as a free upgrade to all users of Windows 7 and Windows 8, with no change in system requirements relative to those older versions. Windows 11 was (and still is) a free upgrade to Windows 10, but its relatively high system requirements mean there are plenty of Windows 10 PCs that aren't eligible to run Windows 11."
Complaints about Windows 11 are widespread among tech enthusiasts, yet Windows remains the dominant desktop and laptop operating system. Windows 11 has exceeded 1 billion users worldwide, reaching that milestone faster than Windows 10 did after its launch. Windows 10 was offered as a free upgrade to Windows 7 and 8 without increased system requirements, while Windows 11 is a free upgrade from Windows 10 but enforces higher hardware requirements that leave many PCs ineligible. Public data on remaining Windows 10 installations is unreliable, though analytics suggest a substantial portion of PCs still run Windows 10.
