The end is nigh. In less than a week, Microsoft is poised to cut support for Windows 10. The tech giant has doubled down on its campaigned designed to urge users to upgrade to Windows 11. And as it seems, the strategy might be working, as Windows 11 surpassed Windows 10 as the most dominant desktop operating system in the world in July, with 50.88% of the Windows market share.
Users have cited Microsoft's stringent hardware system requirements and flawed design elements as the main issues preventing them from upgrading to Windows 11. While the operating system has seemingly gained some traction, Windows 7 gained almost 10% market share in the last month as Windows 10's end-of-life approaches.
