Now, it is worth mentioning that the AdDuplex report is based on the data collected from 60,000 computers that run apps supported by the AdDuplex SDK v.2, which is, to be honest, not a big sample size. Moreover, the percentage shares are only relative to other Windows 10 and 11 versions, as the apps supported by the company’s advertising framework can only run on these versions. So, Windows 7 or 8 devices are not considered in the report.

Nonetheless, the growth of Windows 11 as compared to other Windows versions is commendable, considering the fact that many Windows 10 users cannot readily update their devices to the latest platform due to the more stringentsystem requirement issues. However, as per the report, the majority of the usage share is still enjoyed by the Windows 10 version 21H1 update (28.6%). This is followed by the Windows 10 O20U (v20H2) update, which currently has 26.3% of usage.

Going forward, Windows 11 usage is expected to increase as more users switch to the latest platform or buy new devices with the latest OS out-of-the-box.
