| Windows 7 still works on millions of computers |
When the cost of the new version of Windows was too high, Microsoft tried to get users to update the OS through the computer and ran into a problem.
The problem is that most people don't care what version of Windows their computer is running as long as the computer is running.
Microsoft officially ended support for Windows 7 about a year ago, but many PC users around the world are still using the operating system.
It is unclear how many Windows 7 users are still using this operating system.
One report mentioned that when Windows 7 ended last year, around 200 million computers around the world were still using the operating system.
A look at data provided by the US government's Digital Analytics Program shows that 18.9% of Windows computers were running Windows 7 as of December 2019.
Indicators at the end of 2020 show that about 8.5% of Windows computers are still running Windows 7.
This represents a significant decrease in the number of Windows 7 users over the year, but it still shows that a large number of users are still using Windows 7.
It is difficult to give an exact figure how many computers are still running Windows 7, but it is clear that many people and companies continue to use unsupported operating systems.
NetMarketShare showed that Windows 7 devices made up about 21.7% of the market at the end of 2020.
Global statistics show that Windows 7 PC users make up about 17.7% of the market.
While we cannot provide a fixed number, these metrics indicate that there may be as many as 100 million computers running Windows 7 and that number may be even higher.
Microsoft is allowing some users to pay for extended security updates, and the number of Windows 7 PCs is expected to decrease dramatically in 2021.
