Shows a survey from the US analysis firm Lansweeper. This is despite the fact that Microsoft recommends upgrading and that the operating system is available to the masses for free.
Figures from the American company show that the exact number of machines that have been upgraded to the latest operating system is 0.21 percent. They surveyed more than ten million computers to come to the conclusion: no one or few wanted to upgrade.
I came out strong
Microsoft did its best to say it would have one billion users innovating Windows 10 in three years when they launched the operating system (OS) in 2015.
It should soon turn out to be a long way off—now the fading seems to be repeating itself.
Microsoft President Youssef Mahdi told the Windows division that it will take longer to reach the 1 billion user target Toptechnews i 2016.
Analytics firm Lansweeper believes that the slow upgrade rate of Windows 11 is due to the infamous TPM requirement which means many computers cannot run the new OS at all.
TPM
Although the requirements can be circumvented, Microsoft warns can give More instability. If you bypass the ban, you are also not entitled to get updates through Windows Update.
This means that many will have to buy a new computer before they can use Windows 11.
The analysis firm also notes that there are still millions of devices running old operating systems such as Windows Vista, 2000, XP and 7:
– This poses a significant security risk as Microsoft no longer updates operating systems with security fixes. Although the majority of users have updated to newer versions, millions of devices are open to attack, warns analyst Roel Decneut at the US research firm and continues:
A large number of these devices operate in corporate networks, so it is no longer only personal information that can be lost
Not until March 2020
The goal of 1 billion installs of Windows 10 in 2018 should include computers, tablets, mobile phones, and game consoles. But company figures showed that only 350 million units had the operating system installed a year and a half after its launch.
The target was not reached until March 2020.
By then, Microsoft had taken strict action. The company forced users to the operating system. This led to a lot of frustration around the world, and some even went so far as to sue the company.
The tech giant, among other things, was sentenced to pay 80,000 crowns for a woman left with a useless system After the automatic upgrade of Windows 10. In January 2017, the company admitted that it had gone too far:
We want people to run Windows 10 from a security perspective. Finding the right balance to attract the most users to the new platform wasn’t easy, Chris Cobusella, Microsoft’s director of marketing at the time, told Windows Weekly.
Microsoft: We had a weak moment
He said he believed the company had a weak moment when they forced users who had checked off the update to the new operating system Softpedia.
What most users deemed an obvious “no,” was an assertion in Microsoft’s eyes.
After we decided to release this upgrade to the market, it didn’t take many hours before we realized we had gone too far.
– Of course, it takes some time to roll out an update that changes the behavior. The two weeks that this lasted were very painful for us. It was definitely a new bottom. We learned a lot from that experience, said the head of Microsoft.
