Windows 10 is now running on 110 million devices

4.6
At its Windows 10 devices event today, Microsoft has announced that Windows 10 is now running on 110 million devices, more than previously rumored. This also includes millions of Windows Insiders and more than 8 million Enterprise users.

Microsoft released Windows 10 as a free upgrade on July 29, and since then, more than a hundred million people have upgraded to the latest operating system. Just five days after the update was released, the OS was already running on nearly 20 million machines, a number which escalated to 50 million less than two weeks later, in the middle of August, occupying a marketshare of 5%.

Near the end of August, the company announced that 75 million devices were running Windows 10, a figure which it even mentioned on its "Microsoft by the numbers" website just a few days ago. This led to speculation that the Windows 10 install rate had slowed down and it hadn't hit the 100 million mark yet. However, now Microsoft has officially announced that it has achieved this milestone just ten weeks after the release of Windows 10.

Stonerzard I'm still very dubious. It looks like too many people are having problems running a lot of games, I still have some classics on my PC so I don't really want to jeapordise all of that.


No problems so far, on my side of the usage. Once, in the time since I've gotten it(day 1) it was pretty slow. But after rebooting my PC, it was just fine.

I've enjoyed windows 10. Especially the new Background feature(I upgraded from Windows 7 which has no Multibackground software pre-made such as Win8 did. And as I Use 3+ screens at a time..I enjoy having different backgrounds.

Gaming wise, no difference. Speed/Performance wise, no difference. Really just happy about the background. Lol.

Maybe, but until the shit is fixed, it's not running on mine...

It's already broken itself on 2 SSD's.

Pro I couldn't care less how many people use this, it's a really bad operating system and I'll always be sticking to windows 7 and 8.


There isn't really anything bad about it. It is all just personal preference

Thats pretty good, does this include tablets, and phones and everything or just desktop PC's? And does Xbox One's count with the new beta dash? I'm still on Windows 7 on my PC and I plan to stay that way for awhile.
