Microsoft Windows 10 clocked at 200 million installations – Executive People

Microsoft Windows 10 clocked at 200 million installations in five months, according to unofficial sources. According to others, it comes down to a market share of around ten per cent.

It is WinBeta based on anonymous sources saying that Windows 10 has reached the milestone of 200 million installations. That’s appeared down to forty million installations per month since the OS this summer. Microsoft’s ambition is to reach one billion units in the first three years.

The most recent milestone that Microsoft itself was communicating was that of 110 million plant in October. In addition, that the company was currently fully urging to implement the free update, making it by some even comes across as if they have no other choice.

That the company is sitting on two hundred million installations similar to themselves not illogical. Thus we learn to StatCounter, Windows 10 has a market share of 10.85 percent which makes the system slightly larger than OS X and is slightly smaller than 8.x Windows.

Most upgrades likely to follow in the course of 2016. The upgrade to Windows 10 is still free until the summer and by that time will perform the first companies migrations.

“Windows 10 is already more than 200 million devices’ – Techzine

According to anonymous sources, Microsoft’s new operating system Windows 10 is currently at more than 200 million devices installed. In October, the counter stood as Microsoft still at about 110 million devices.

Meanwhile, Windows 10 is about five months available. With a total of 200 million installations came so monthly 40 million. Windows 10 is good in a sense, not a surprise, it’s the first time that a Microsoft Windows update on a large scale free offers.

For a free installation must have at least Windows 7 , when upgrading from an older version of Windows must be paid. The free update is also only valid for the first year, then Microsoft will still go ask for money. The presence of this term could also be an incentive for a quick update. In addition, Microsoft provides the update also actively among users of Windows 7 and Windows 8.

Microsoft has set itself the objective of Windows 10 to have passed within three years more than 1 billion devices. If the number of 200 million beats the American company has come a long way.

According to sources WinBeta Windows 10 now more than 200 million PCs and laptops. Thus it remains at an average of 40 million new Windows 10 users per month

.

At this rate, Microsoft gets its easy target to get one billion users on Windows 10 within three years. But whether the adoption continues at the current rate, it is still questionable. Microsoft will from January be efforts to Windows 7 and 8.1 users to transfer to intensify Windows 10. But the question is whether there are no sharp decline in switchers will take place after July 29, 2016, when the switch is no longer free, and if sales of new systems with Windows 10 which then compensates.

Microsoft must disclose the figures themselves yet, however. WinBeta also does not indicate what his sources.

1 billion devices

Microsoft wants Windows 10 within three years stand at one billion devices. These are not just desktops, but also mobile phones, tablets and Xbox’en. The company therefore has little time.

Aggressive sales techniques

A possible reason for the doubling of Windows 10 machines is the aggressive way Microsoft is forcing users to upgrade. The (free) upgrade is blocked in Windows Update in Windows 7 and 8, but even when users manually turn off comes on yet again. Thus, many users “accidentally” switched without which they themselves want.

We wrote last month called on Microsoft to stop the forced upgrades.
