StatCounter report claims that the market share of Windows 10 has increased to 50.07 percent from 48.19. Windows 7 dropped to 37.2 from 38.65 percent in the month of September.

On the other hand, the latest report from NetMarketShare reveals that the market share of Windows 10 has dropped a bit and Windows 7 has jumped. Both NetMarketShare and StatCounter uses a different algorithm to analyze the market share of the operating systems.

According to NetMarketShare, the market share of Windows 7 increased from 40.27% in August to 40.88% in September. On the other hand, Windows 10 dropped from 37.80% to 37.44% in NetMarketShare’s latest report.

It’s a minor drop and the market share of Windows 10 is likely to jump a lot in the coming months as we approach the end of support date of Windows 7.
