New data published by NetMarketShare reveal that the Windows 10 continue to increase their market share. In April alone, Microsoft's operating system saw an increase in adoption of more than 1%.
In particular, Windows 10 increased from 44,10% in April to 45,73% in May, and this certainly delighted Microsoft as its operating system is now approaching the 50% milestone.
According to Microsoft statistics more than 800 millions συσκευές τρέχουν αυτήν την περίοδο με Windows 10. Η εταιρεία από το 2015 είχε σαν σαν στόχο την installation του λειτουργικού συστήματος σε 1 δισεκατομμύριο συσκευές μέχρι τα τέλη του 2017, αλλά αργότερα παραδέχτηκε ότι η επίτευξη αυτού του στόχου θα χρειαζόταν περισσότερο από ό, τι αναμενόταν.
Meanwhile, the company is trying to get users from Windows 7, whose support is expected to happen in January 2020.
In May 2019, Windows 7 was at 35,44%, up from 36,43% the previous month. So the increase in market share we mentioned above in Windows 10 probably shows that some of the 7 users have upgraded to Windows 10, although the sales of the new PCs also contribute to the adoption of the latter versionof the operating system.
Windows 8.1 continues to decline every month. In May, they fell from 4,22% to 3,97%.
Full statistics (April 2019 and May 2019) are available in the table below.

In May 2019, a new "fixed version" of Windows 10 was also released, officially called the Windows 10 May 2019 Update or 1903 version.
This particular version brings a lot of changes that could make it upgrade in Windows 10 much more attractive for Windows 7 users, with the light theme but also Windows Sandbox, a feature that allows the operation of untrusted applications in a safe and closed environment.
