Windows 11 reaches almost 24% market share on Steam

3.4
Valve has published the latest results of its monthly Hardware & Software Survey, showing dominant preferences among Steam customers. According to the August 2022 report, Windows 11 is back climbing the ladder after a small dip in July 2022. Valve says Microsoft's latest operating system has made a U-turn and gained 2.66 points, reaching an all-time high of 23.78%.

It is too early to predict when Windows 11 will become the most popular operating system on Steam. Still, the gap between seven-year-old Windows 10 and relatively young Windows 11 is slowly decreasing. In August 2022, Windows 10 experienced a significant decrease, going down from 73.11% to 69.06% (-4.11 points).

About 2.6% of Steam users do not care that Microsoft stopped providing support for Windows 7 almost three years ago. Moreover, the good-old Windows 7 gained 0.56 points in August 2022, thus securing the third most popular OS title.

Overall, Windows holds 96.23% of Steam users (-0.8 points). Apple's macOS has 2.5% (+0.76 points), and Linux is third with 1.27% (+0.04 points).

Windows 10 64-bit – 69.06% (-4.11 points)
Windows 11 – 23.78% (+2.66 points)
Windows 7 – 2.6% (+0.56 points)
macOS – 2.5% (+0.76 points)
Linux – 1.27% (+0.04 points)

I tried the windows 11 beta. I kept getting blue screens of death. They locked the task bar. Everything seems not as user friendly as windows 10 is.
