The total market share of Windows 11 is currently around 15-20% globally, depending on the region and time period.
Considering all laptops, desktops, and other computers—even those using non-Windows OS—the share that uses Windows 11 is relatively low.
This piece indicates the market share is rising rapidly as more individuals upgrade. The article references a report from TechAdvisor highlighting this trend, noting a modest beginning but steady progress, reaching around 14% by the end of the period discussed.
Excessive for a system lacking capabilities deemed essential back then, even in 1999

My home’s ventilation system likely runs a lightweight embedded OS, possibly Linux, which won’t appear in standard system reports. When focusing on mainstream operating systems—Windows, Android, MacOS, etc.—Windows holds an approximate 32% market share. AdDuplex’s study of 60,000 Windows PC owners found that about 16.1% were using Windows 11, which equals roughly 5.2% of the overall market.
