Windows 11 was released in October 2021. Following the slow adoption following its predecessor’s release, new data is showing that it looks like Windows 11 is being taken to much more quickly.
A January usage report published by AdDuplex on XDA Developers noted that Windows 11 has nearly doubled its users since November 2021. In the two months since the original report, its usage share has increased to 16.1%. This is compared to the mere 8.6% that was reported in November.
This trend shows that users are adopting Windows 11 much faster than they moved to Windows 10. Along with these stats, the CEO of Microsoft, Satya Nadella, also revealed that there are currently 1.4 million active Windows 10 and Windows 11 users worldwide.
According to Windows, this newest release of Windows 11 includes many powerful new features. This version is geared towards anyone, whether you are working on a school project, collaborating on work presentations, building a new app, or just planning your next big idea.
Some of the biggest changes include a redesign of the taskbar icons and start menu as well as support for Android apps. Then users will also note rounded corners on all program windows. There is also a built-in Teams chat option available with Windows 11. Finally, Windows 11 also now supports DirectStorage. This feature was first on Xbox Series X and S consoles and, due to the increased popularity, made its way to the latest Windows operating system. These are just a few of the improvements that come with this newest version.
If you haven’t made the change yet, you should consider upgrading to Windows 11 now. The stats don’t lie, and it seems like Windows 11 will be much more popular than its predecessor.
