Hi
Everyone who buys a new PC will get Windows 10.
Thats about 5.5 Million PCs a year.
I doubt that more than a tiny percentage of people would downgrade their new computer to an earlier version of Windows.
How many people will upgrade from 7 and 8?
That's up in the air but everyone I know plans on updating from 8, some of my friends who are running 7 say then won't upgrade until they get a new computer, but my friend Paul plans on updating his Windows 7 computer to 10.
But no one I know keeps their computer more than 5 years or so, but they are all into performance, I suppose some people keep their computers for 10 years.
But by then I assume we'll be running Windows 11 or 12, maybe 13, (I think they should skip that and go to 14)?
By the way, I just read an article that discussed why PC sales are going up relative to tablet sales.
Businesses and consumers alike are again purchasing PCs, and Mac sales are on the rise year-over-year. Businesses in particular are forced to upgrade older PCs now that Windows XP is no longer supported. When purchasing a new PC, the main driver to choose a PC versus a tablet is fairly obvious: If you are creating any type of content regularly, you need a keyboard, a larger screen, and (for most businesses) Microsoft Office.
