Microsoft is scheduled to stop the support for Windows 7 on January 14th. There is about 1 month left and you would expect that the majority of users have already upgraded to Windows 10.
However, according to with the new elements NetMarketShare for October - November, this is not the case, as the market share of Windows 7 decreased slightly last month.
What is even worse for Microsoft is that Windows 10 declined slightly at a time that was supposed to benefit from Windows 7 support.
More specifically, Windows 10 remains the first functional desktop system, but their usage dropped from 54,30% to 53,81%. Windows 7 was still second in choice, and the drop in adoption rate appears to be much slower than Microsoft expected. Windows 7's market share fell from 26,94% in October to 26,90% in November.
Non-Windows desktop operating systems lag far behind on the charts. macOS 10.14 is the first no platform after Windows in November with a market share reaching 4.62%. Immediately after macOS 10.15 follows with 3.11%..
Linux is at 1,16%, according to the same source.
The switch from 7 to Windows will take much longer than Microsoft had anticipated, due to the fact that more than 1 on 4 computers run on the 2009 operating system. Home users may decide to switch functionality, but businesses using Windows 7 face more problems, such as hardware incompatibilities and specialized software.
Dell recently revealed that Intel chip delays may affect Windows 7 to Windows 10 upgrades, forcing some Companies to upgrade to the new operating system later in 2020.
