A full year has passed since Windows 11 began rolling out to the public on October 5, 2021.
Lansweeper, enterprise management IT operations company, released the results of a massive survey at the time. The data showed that less than 50% of systems actually met the upgrade requirements for Windows 11.
One year after the release of the new system, Lansweeper has released updated data and it is clear that the market situation has changed a bit. However, this may be a far cry from Microsoft’s expectations.
The data shows that the percentage of compliant CPUs rose to 57.26% from 44.4% a year ago, an increase of about 13 percentage points. That means close to 43 percent of systems still don’t meet the demand for Win11 upgrades.
Lansweeper said 30 million devices from 60,000 organizations were surveyed. This number is the same as the last one, and the base is exactly the same, so it can have some reference value. You can see the analysis of CPU, RAM and TPM requirements in the chart below.
In addition, Lansweeper provides a separate column showing TPM specifications for workstations and servers, and the chart below plots the same data for PCs in the chart above, showing that 14.66% of workstations fail to meet TPM 2.0 support.
In addition, analysts also gave trends in consumer and enterprise adoption of Windows 11, as well as adoption rates, with Windows 11 accounting for just over 2.5 percent of some markets, which is insignificant compared to Windows 10.
