Windows 11 Breaks Records, Reaching an All-Time High in Market Share
In early 2025, Windows 11 reached a historic milestone, overcoming the downturn observed at the end of the previous year. Analytical data indicates that the operating system's global market share has surpassed 36%. Experts attribute this surge not only to the release of new devices but also to a radical shift in Microsoft's strategy.
Following the announcement that Windows 10 would require paid support starting October 2025, users began actively migrating to the new platform to avoid additional costs. A significant factor in this transition has been the introduction of Copilot+ technology, which Microsoft claims boosts task efficiency by 30% through AI integration.
Microsoft has also implemented stricter measures: since January 2025, mandatory updates to Windows 11 24H2 have been enforced, and instructions for bypassing the TPM 2.0 check have been removed from the official website. Simultaneously, the company has introduced features aimed at easing the transition, such as improved integration with iPhone, detailed battery analytics, and simplified data migration.
