Windows 10 Users Surpass Windows 8.1 For The First Time by callydon(m): 3:57pm On Feb 16, 2016
According to independent web analytics company, StatCounter, Microsoft’s newest PC operating system, Windows 10 has for the first time surpassed its predecessor, Windows 8.1 in terms of global usage, in the month of January 2016.
The firm’s analytics arm, StatCounter Global Stats finds that Windows 10 hit 13.7% in terms of desktop Internet usage compared to 11.7% for Windows 8.1, though it is still some way behind Windows 7, which represented 46.7% of Internet usage worldwide in January.
Worldwide usage of Windows 10 after six calendar months (since August) was 13.7% compared to 5.0% for Windows 8 and 13.5% for Windows 7 at their initial half year stage.
He added, “However, there remains a lot of loyalty to Windows 7 and it will be interesting to see

if it becomes the equivalent of XP which, 14 years after launch, refuses to lie down and still
has an 8% global share in terms of desktop internet use.”

StatCounter analysis of the first six months finds that Windows 10 usage is greater than Windows 8 and Windows 7 over the same time period globally, in the US and UK.
Windows 10 is now at 15.7% in the US and overtook 8.1 in December. Windows 7 still leads the US on 40.5%. In the UK, Windows 10 is powering ahead with 22.4% in January compared to 12.5% for 8.1. Windows 10 overtook 8.1 in October. Windows 7 represents 36.8% of internet usage in the UK.
