The AchieVer Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 Just a fifth of Windows 10 PCs are running the latest version That's a lot of out-of-date devices Lots of people are clearly pressing the snooze button on critical updates, then GOOD NEWS AND BAD NEWS for Microsoft. The good news is that nearly twice as many people are using the latest version of Windows 10 as there were a month ago. The bad news is that the update has been out for four months, and another version is just around the corner. The stats come from AdDuplex, which is in a unique position to test Windows waters, on account of being part of more than 5,000 apps in the Microsoft Store. That gives the company a pool of over 100,000 PCs to analyse. And just 21.2 per cent of those computers have run the October Update, dragging them kicking and screaming into version 1809. The April 2018 update (1803) is still by far the most used version with 71.6 per cent of PCs assessed still running it. That likely means they'll have to absorb two major updates when they join the 0.2 per cent of computers running 19H1 upon release. Those running the Fall Creators Update (1709) dipped 0.3 per cent to 3.7, while those hipsters still running the Creators Update and earlier stayed steady at 3.2 per cent. Not listed: the 37 per cent of the world still plugging away with Windows 7. AdDuplex also has some stats on Surface usage, and the most popular model remains the Surface Pro 4, followed by the 2017 Surface Pro and Surface Pro 3. The cheap and cheerful Surface Go is in at number four, while the expensive and cumbersome Surface Studio is unsurprisingly in last place. Unsurprising, given you could buy seven Surface Go tablets for the price of one Surface Studio, and still have enough change to get a regrettable Windows 95 tattoo on the way home.

TheEmpathicEar Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 Hey! That's me! I am using the very first edition of WIN10. Issues with needing a new serial/key or whatever...😀 Oh, the fact that the upgrade failed multiple times on my desktop 32-bit PC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trufpal Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 Well, if Microsoft doesn't break anything after every major update then more users would probably on the latest version. This happens way too often and people don't want that (duh...). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame, because, at last, after more than 3 months, version 1809 is finally runnig well... as it should have since first days of October... and didn't!l Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shorty6100 Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 I'm on the latest. I LIKE to be different. Agree with luisam-1809 had its share of issues which I was lucky to bypass. I will be patient to wait for most of the issues to be resolved before I install 1903. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
insanedown58 Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 I'm the only person in my social circle that is running the latest version of Windows 10. As to why, well everyone around has seemingly screwed up their systems so bad that the update doesn't get to their system anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
