Windows 10 grabs 7.94% market share, slowly stealing from Windows 7 and XP

Microsoft’s free Windows 10 upgrade isn’t winning over as many users as the company probably had hoped. After three months, Windows 10 has captured almost 8 percent market share, according to the latest figures from Net Applications.

Windows 10 was installed on over 75 million PCs in its first four weeks, and passed 110 million after 10 weeks. While we don’t have a more recent figure yet, Microsoft is aiming to have 1 billion devices running Windows 10 “in two to three years” — though that includes not just PCs, but smartphones, consoles, and other devices, as well.
