The numbers make it clear: Windows 7 continues to lose market share while Windows 10 takes its baton

With the advent of Windows 10, it was a matter of time before other strongly implanted versions of Microsoft's operating system began to lose prominence. And the best example is what is happening to Windows 7, once the most popular version of the Redmond operating system.

On the one hand, it has seen how the cessation of support has made many users see the moment to make the leap to another more current version, which also gains prominence and market with the sales of new equipment. And recent numbers provided by Netmarketshare show how Windows 7 continues to drop integers

Windows 10 in the lead

The well-known analysis and statistics company has published the market figures for September 2019 in which the slow decline of Windows 7 can be seen , which is already down 30% in market share.

Specifically, computers with Windows 7 represent only 28, 17% of the market of the operating system and 33% of the market for Windows, something that contracts with 52, 38% of the market and 61% if only Windows-based computers are counted, in which Windows 10 is present.

These are the two most used operating systems, which is to be expected. In the last drawer of the podium appears macOS 10.14 with a market share of 7.15%, which grows compared to the 5.95% it showed last month.Of the rest of notable systems, Windows 8.1 represents 3.48% of the market and Windows XP 1, 12% of the market in terms of desktop operating systems.

Browser Marketplace

When it comes to browsers, the situation remains almost unchanged. In the first position is Chrome, with 68.47% of the market, followed by Firefox, already a long way off, with 8.72% and Internet Explorer with 6.14%. Edge is listed below IE with 5.87%, which is down from 6.34% market share in the previous month.
