Windows 10 and its penultimate update still dominate the market: it is present on 40% of computers

We are waiting for the first update of Windows 10 scheduled for this year 2021. The spring update seems to be quite light. And while it arrives, we already have the data for the implementation of Windows 10 in the market with the distribution by updates.

Data from the latest AdDuplex survey showing that the Windows 10 May 2020 Update dominates the market, while the most recent fall update it is only present in 20% of computers.

Windows 10 2004 dominates the market

AdDuplex data makes it clear that Windows 10 October 2020 Update (version 20H2) is seeing slow adoption and is currently only present on 20% of computersIf we go back in time, the 20H2 branch was present in 8.8% of the teams, which shows a sustained but constant growth.

And it is that the dominator, almost a year later is the spring update of 2020. Windows 10 May 2020 Update shows off a market share of 41.8%As the second most used version of Windows, we have the immediately previous one, the November 2019 update, which is present in 26.8% of computers.

And from here, the figures drop significantly Windows 10 May 2019 Update has a market share of almost 6 % of PCs. For its part, Windows 10 April 2018 Update is present on 1.7% of computers and Windows 10 October 2018 Update is present on 1.4% of computers.

From these figures it seems to stand out that the updates released in spring have been better received by users In addition, it draws attention the domain of Windows 10 2004. A year later it has more than 40% of the market and this is perhaps due to the staggered release by Microsoft after verifying that it does not cause failures, bugs present in a large part of the company's recent updates .

In addition, a good part of the users perhaps wait to have established versions, free of errors, while others, due to ignorance, maybe they don't update the equipment... factors that can contribute to numbers like these.

Great value percentages, because we must remember that Windows 10 has a park of more than one billion computers, so that any problem that arises with an update can have a great impact and affect a large number of users.
