Windows 11 Promised a Leap Forward
When Windows 11 launched in October 2021, Microsoft described it as a fresh start for the world’s most widely used desktop operating system. The company pitched it as more than just a visual refresh, i.e. it was billed as faster, smarter, more secure, and better integrated with new hardware and cloud-powered AI features. Yet nearly four years later, new research by TechRadar has found that only 43 per cent of users say they’ve made the switch.
Most Still on Windows 10 or Older – 14 October Date Looming
This means that the remaining 57 per cent are still on Windows 10 or even older versions, despite the clock ticking down to 14 October 2025, when Microsoft will officially end support for Windows 10. After that date, no more security patches or updates will be issued unless users pay for costly extended support contracts through the new ESU (Extended Security Updates) programme.
