According to the report, Windows 11 is already running on over 400 million monthly active devices

Microsoft debuted Windows 11 in 2021, and the company has issued numerous big upgrades and new features to the operating system since then. According to a recent media report, Windows 11 powers more than 400 million monthly active devices. According to estimates, the current operating system will have 500 million active devices by 2024. This is a much slower adoption rate than the previous Windows 10. Just over a year after its debut, Windows 11 had 400 million active devices.

According to a Windows Central story citing Microsoft internal data, Windows 11 is presently in use on over 400 million monthly active devices and will reach 500 million monthly active devices by early 2024. Windows 11 adoption appears to be significantly slower than Windows 10. However, according to the article, Microsoft has set a "modest" objective for the Windows 11 user base, and the corporation has routinely exceeded these internal targets. According to reports, Windows 11 has proven more popular than the firm anticipated.

In July 2021, Microsoft released Windows 11, which had noteworthy design improvements such as a redesigned boot screen, startup sound, and updated widgets. Microsoft took two years to achieve 400 million monthly active devices with Windows 11, whereas Windows 10, which launched in June 2015, did so in just over a year. By early 2020, it had achieved 1 billion users.

Windows 10 debuted as a limited free upgrade from Windows 7 and Windows 8. Due to the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) requirement, the Windows 11 operating system was only supported on CPUs produced after 2018. These stringent hardware requirements are to blame for Windows 11's slow adoption rate.

In recent months, Windows 11 has gotten a handful of upgrades. The tech titan included its AI personal assistant, Copilot, in the operating system. As the next major Windows operating system, Microsoft's Windows 12 is planned to be launched in 2024.
