Last month, Valve's monthly Hardware & Software Survey on Steam showed a grim picture for Windows 11: according to the report, Microsoft's latest OS dipped from 30% to 22% in one month. There were no apparent reasons to explain such a massive user exodus, so one may guess that was due to the survey's participation rules. Steam Hardware & Software Survey results for April 2023 are now available, showing the complete opposite: Windows 11 reclaimed its lost points and is now at its all-time high.
Disclaimer: Participation in the survey is optional and is not offered to all users. The primary goal is to provide a platform average picture and help developers tailor their games and technology investments. The survey is never 100% accurate.
According to Valve, in April 2023, Windows 11 gained 10.98%. Such a radical boost helped the OS reach its highest market share of 33.39%. Windows 10 remains number one with a 61.21% share, which lost 12.74 points compared to the previous month. Combined, Windows 10 and 11 hold 94.6% of all Steam customers who agreed to participate in the survey.
- Windows 10 64-bit - 61.21% (-12.74)
- Widnows 11 - 33.39% (+10.98)
- Windows 7 64-bit - 1.28% (+0.22)
- Windows 8.1 64-bit - 0.31% (+0.11)
- Windows 7 - 0.08% (+0.03)
Now to the hardware side of the report, which, similarly to operating systems, is all over the place:
