Almost 40% of Steam users use Windows 10

Right now almost 40% of all Steam users are using the Windows 10 OS, making it by far the most popular OS on Steam.

the power of FREE mainstream OS!

[Deadpooled]

Duh because it was FREE! (and sh*ts all over windows 8)

[badz149]

I personally think 8.1 is better than 10!

[freshslicepizza]

why, or are you just trying to go against the grain?

[badz149]

No, really. And I said, "personally".

After the abomination that was Win 8, 8.1 update was greatly welcomed. Got some getting use to, but over time, it was clear that it was indeed better. I was holding on and only installed 10 on my laptop and did/'t like it. After all the announcement of Xbone games going to Win 10 and DX12 promised features, I caved in and installed i10 on my PC. So far...still not liking it. And the fact that it crashes more times than the entire period I was on 8.1 doesn't help either!

Win 7 is still king IMO though

Is it really a surprise to anyone out there?

We're pretty much being forced to do it afterall.

[Nivekki]

I'm still running Windows 7 personally. It nags every once in a while, but I'm still here with no 7. Not been forced yet, still wondering where the forcing is supposed to come from. Does someone come and point a gun at you?

[ProjectVulcan]

Yep, DX12 is forcing it. However I dual boot with Win 7 as my primary OS, and Win 10 as required for some games now. It's no big deal as both boot so quickly, although I am under no illusions nearly everyone logging onto steam to play games will always be on Windows 10 within just a couple years- including me.

[PurpHerbison]

I'll be on Windows 7 until I am forced off of it. Did the same for XP.

[Vasto]

Windows 10 is the best OS ever made.
It is amazing.

[VJGenova]

Eh, this stat is probably wrong too, just like my resolution. 1920x1080 ... i think not steam. Try 3840 x 2160! Stupid uneditable steam "survey". I noticed the error and sent them my dxdiag, never heard back.

You guys are worried about Spyware from Microsoft, they are one of the few companies that offer transparency and let you know what's going on in a list instead of dumping it in random Terms of Service or EULAs.

But I bet you use Chrome.

[Duke19]

40% seems reasonable, although I definitely would have pictured it closer to 25 or 30% tops. It amazes me how many people haven't moved to windows 7 yet, let alone 8 or 10.

[ONESHOTV2]

windows 10 is a pain in the ass sometimes i can't even find my bluetooth icon anywhere on on my rig i had windows 8 installed on my GT70 and i had no problems with bluetooth i hope they fix small problems like these soon
