The U.S. Public Interest Research Organization believes that of the 1 billion devices currently using Windows 10, more than 400 million devices do not meet the upgrade requirements for Windows 11.

 After the end of the Windows 10 life cycle, more than 400 million devices will lose Microsoft support and become obsolete. Microsoft should consider the 'end of Windows 10 life cycle' initiative and continue to provide services to users who cannot upgrade to Windows 11. Security updates, both for Microsoft's financial benefit and to protect the global environment.

Lucas Rockett Gutterman, campaign director of the American Public Interest Research Organization, said that Microsoft has expanded support for old operating systems in the past. For example, in the case of Windows XP, relevant users have received security updates for up to 13 years, so Microsoft has extended the support for Windows 10. Support cycles are also “possible”.

Global Windows operating system data for October 2023 disclosed by StatCounter showed that Windows 10 has the largest market share, accounting for approximately 70.88% of desktop computers. Windows 11 is the second most popular version with a market share of 24.89%. Additionally, Windows 7 still holds about 2.9% of the market. Windows 8.1 has about 0.57% of the market, Windows 8 has about 0.34%, and Windows XP has about 0.3%.

According to Statcounter, as of October 2023, the percentage of PCs worldwide with Windows 11 installed is about 23%, compared to 71% for Windows 10. That’s a huge gap, especially when you consider that Microsoft plans to end support for Windows 10 systems in about two years.

The chart above, from StatCounter in October 2023, shows that Windows 10 has the largest market share, with about 70.88% of desktops. windows 11 is the second most popular version, with a 24.89% market share. Windows 11 is the second most popular version with a market share of 24.89%. In addition, Windows 7 still has a market share of about 2.9%. Windows 8.1 has a market share of about 0.57%, Windows 8 has a market share of about 0.34%, and Windows XP has a market share of about 0.3%.

In addition, it is noted that the Steam Hardware Survey also confirms that Windows 10 is more popular than Windows 11, but users are slowly migrating: Windows 10 is the most popular version of Windows among those using Windows on Steam, with 57.97%. Windows 11 is second, with a usage rate of 37.43%. Windows 7 (64-bit) has a 1.23% share, Windows 8.1 has a 0.18% share, and the non-64-bit version of Windows 7 has a 0.06% share.

So what happens to PCs that continue to run on Windows 10 in 2025 and beyond? Users will be able to continue to use this operating system just as they can still use Windows 7. In addition, just like on Windows 7, some third-party companies will commit to continue supporting Windows 10.

It’s also worth noting that Microsoft has confirmed that upgrading to Windows 11 is completely free for eligible Windows 10 PCs until 2025.

For comparison, Windows 11 had a 23.17% share in August and a 23.66% share in July. As you can see from the line in the chart, since April when the share of Windows 11 systems exceeded 23% for the first time, the share of Windows 11 systems has basically been stagnant in the following months.

The operating system with the largest share of PC users is still Windows 10, which has maintained a market share of over 71% since April. In September, Windows 10 still had 71.62% of the market share.

The third largest operating system is Windows 7, which had a 3.33% share in September this year; the share of Windows 8/8.1/XP continued to rank below 1%.

Microsoft announced in an announcement late last month that it was closing the channel for free upgrades from Windows 7 and 8 to Windows 11 and 10. This means that users will no longer be able to use their Windows 7/8 product key to activate Windows 10/11 during the installation process.

With Windows Backup, the system can automatically back up your files, apps, system settings, user information, Edge settings, third-party browser data, and more, and the backed up data can be restored on a new device or after reinstalling the system. Of course, you need to log in with a Microsoft account.

KB5030211 was released on September 12, and Reddit users discovered that the update had installed the app without their permission and could not be uninstalled.

Although ordinary consumers have become accustomed to Microsoft’s strategy, there are still many enterprise customers, especially LTSC users, who are dissatisfied with the behavior of installing software by themselves in Windows.

Of course, we can disable this feature with the help of PowerShell, essentially removing the Windows Feature Experience Pack, which will disable two features at the same time – the emoji picker and the “Win + Shift + S” shortcut.

If you don’t mind losing some Windows features, please follow the steps below to uninstall “Windows Backup”:

 Open the Start menu or Windows search.

 Search for PowerShell and run it with administrative rights.

 Enter the following command in PowerShell:

 Restart.

Users can continue to use the OneNote for Windows 10 app after November, but an error message will pop up when trying to access the translation function.

While the OneNote for Windows 10 app will still work, Microsoft has an alternative solution for those who rely on the translation feature: visit the Microsoft Store and download the OneNote app.

In addition to using the translation function, you need to purchase a subscription to Microsoft 365 Family, Personal, Business Standard, Business Premium, Apps for Business or Apps for Enterprise.

Office Home & Student and Microsoft 365 Business Basic subscriptions do not support the OneNote app.

OneNote for Windows 10 app, also known as OneNote Universal App, was initially built as a Win10 Universal Apps app and was originally planned to replace the traditional OneNote client, but was gradually abandoned by Microsoft due to the many challenges it faced in the process of advancing in the enterprise environment.

Along with Microsoft’s gradual abandonment of the UWP program, the x86 client for OneNote has regained prominence. As of today, OneNote for Windows 10 has been officially retired and only the old version is available in the Store.

IDC believes that the current PC industry is still facing many challenges, including the prolonged update cycle of the consumer market, enterprises reducing procurement budgets, education spending in many markets not yet rebounded, etc. Therefore, it is estimated that shipments in 2023 will be 252 million units, a year-on-year decrease of 1.37 billion %.

Jitesh Ubrani, research manager for mobile and consumer device trackers at IDC, said:

 The PC field is still under a lot of pressure brought about by the economic retrograde, and consumer demand is in a "tepid" state.

 In addition, challenged by other devices such as smartphones, game consoles, and tablets, the PC industry is expected to experience the largest decline in history in 2023.

Ryan Reith, group vice president of Worldwide Mobile and Consumer Device Trackers at IDC, said:

 The popularization of technologies such as generative AI has become another important factor driving the development of the PC industry. In the foreseeable future, commercial PCs may usher in a new round of explosion.

 Microsoft will stop the Win10 system in 2025, which is expected to further promote the development of the PC industry, both from a company and an individual perspective. It's clear that Apple sees an opportunity to continue growing in the commercial space, and we'll be watching Apple closely in the future.
