Microsoft continues to urge users to upgrade to Windows 11, but most are sticking to Windows 10.
November Statcounter data reveals that nearly 62% of users are still on Windows 10, while 34.94% have made the switch to Windows 11. Compared to October statistics, the share of Windows 11 devices decreased by around 0.5%.
There’s still quite some time left until October 14th, 2025, when Microsoft will officially end support for Windows 10. However, as previous experiences with older versions of Windows show, it isn’t easy to force users to adhere to changes.
Knowing this, Microsoft is gradually ramping up its upgrade efforts. According to Windows Latest, the company has added a banner on a “Trouble installing Surface updates” support page, which informs users about the upcoming end of support.
After Windows 10 support ends, users will not be able to receive security and technical updates or new features, leaving their devices vulnerable to attacks.
Some users aren’t rushing to update because they may not have Windows 11-compatible devices.
For Windows 11, a device must have 4GB of RAM, 64GB of disk space, and at least one gigahertz CPU, while the graphics card has to be Compatible with DirectX 12 or later. There's also requirement for Trusted Platform Module (TPM 2.0) module, which many devices lack.
