As 2015 draws to a close, Microsoft's latest operating system is reaching a new milestone in terms of device installations. Windows 10 has now been installed over 200 million times. That's up from 14 million in the first day since it became available, 50 million in less than three weeks after that, and 110 million at the beginning of October.
200 million is certainly an impressive number, and even more so when you consider that it's been reached in only five months. So we've got an average of 40 million installs of Windows 10 per month.
Then again, this evolution is hardly surprising given how Microsoft has been pushing users of Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 to update to Windows 10 (which, let's not forget, is a free process). Microsoft's goal is to reach 1 billion installs in three years, and that could very well happen, at least based on these first five months of availability.
Windows 10 will surely get a lot more users in 2016 as Microsoft continues to polish the OS and fix more bugs. The company is also expected to release two new major updates for Windows 10 to the public in 2016. For those who don’t know, next year’s update is codenamed as “Redstone” and it will bring extension support for Microsoft Edge, a floating Cortana, improvements to Continuum, and much more.
