Adoption of Windows 11 could be a point of embarrassment for Microsoft, as the latest OS trails Windows7's market share.
Even though Microsoft is heavily promoting its latest Windows 11 platform, adoption of the operating system has largely hit a roadblock. The latest market research suggests that Windows 11 is running on just 1.44% of all PCs on the market today, placing the latest OS behind older, legacy platforms like Windows XP and Windows 7.
On the consumer side, the big culprit for the slow uptake of Windows 11 is likely due to the difficulty in upgrading older systems running Windows 10 or earlier to the latest OS. Early on, Microsoft had placed hardware restrictions on Windows 11, ensuring that only PCs purchased within the last few years are eligible to run the latest OS. In fact, according to Lansweeper’s report, more than half of PCs today cannot upgrade to Windows 11.
Both options increase the resistance to Windows 11 adoption, especially for those who may not feel comfortable with more advanced tinkering. And even if you can force your Windows 10 PC to update to Windows 11, Microsoft does not guarantee that systems that manually upgrade through a registry hack would be eligible to receive software updates, which could potentially put those PCs at risk. The security risk of upgrading could negate any perceived benefits of getting the fresh Windows UI on 11.
However, not all news is bad news. While Lansweeper’s numbers show a slow uptick for Windows 11 adoption, AdDuplex’s data swung wildly in favor of Microsoft’s latest OS, according to a report on Computer World. AdDuplex reported that Windows 11 adoption is nearing 9%, though it remains unclear how either company arrived at their respective numbers and why there is such a big variance between the reporting.
