Spring 2025 sees a higher number of users sticking with Windows 10 compared to Windows 11.
I spent some time scrolling through a YouTube video and noticed that most people are still using Windows 10 rather than Windows 11. This made me wonder if Microsoft plans to stop supporting Windows 10 soon or just change its direction. It seems Windows might not be fading away completely—Mac OS is closing the gap significantly. There are still far more Windows users than Mac users. Although I believe we've reached the peak of Windows, I still rely on it for most of my software, so I’m not switching anytime soon. What do you think about where things stand for Windows 10 and its future? Any insights would be appreciated.
People generally ignore it. They stick with Windows 10 until something serious blocks them from doing what they need to do. Unless you require Windows 11 features (like Intel 12th gen CPUs and newer, HDR support, etc.), there’s essentially no reason to switch.
Isn’t this what it’s all about? I moved to Windows 11 since only one Android app was available in the Amazon App store and it functions smoothly there. Using Bluestacks is frustrating because of how the app behaves. It seems Android apps on Windows are disappearing with Windows 11 too. Maybe someone would have preferred a new computer just for that memory feature on Windows 11. Apart from that, I’d have liked not switching to Windows 11.
They didn’t seem to extend the year with a $20 ransom payment. I believe they’ll eventually back down, and Windows 11 is really problematic—possibly even illegal in Europe. The uninstall option was there, but Spypilot suddenly appeared during my Windows 11 setup last week. That definitely raises red flags. I suspect they might opt out or release a newer version. AMD’s AI CPUs should work fine with a 10 model, though I’m not sure about long-term stability. My PC has a 10 core, my laptop a 11—still a bit unusual to run daily on 11. Spypilot is everywhere, and I’m considering switching to a 10-core version for the future.

I was considering it, but I'm uncertain whether it's worth it, especially if I end up returning to Windows 11 soon. My Surface Go 2 could run more smoothly on Windows 10, though. Thanks! I also decided to stop playing on Steam—I've completed four games there and wish I could have finished more non-Steam titles.
Beyond Secure Boot and TPM 2.0 mandates, there are alternatives available, though implementing them often requires more effort than typical users are prepared for. Many people still rely on Windows 10, which has generally performed well, and they may have encountered numerous unfavorable reports about Windows 11.
That's from Steam hardware survey right? Not everyone has Steam on their pc, and those who has it not everyone wants to participate in the survey. Then there's also people with several Steam accounts on a single pc for some reason. Every account gets to do the survey I think, even if they're on the same pc.
I came from Steam and attached the link above the image. It's the top source I've found, though you might want to share an alternative if you have one.
