The end of the support for Windows 10 is very close, although users may still take advantage of extended updates if they do not want to make the leap to Windows 11.
Microsoft expected many users to migrate to Windows 11but the surprising thing is that many are opting to return to Windows 7. According to the latest statcounter data, The Windows 7 market share has passed from 3.59 % to 9.61 % in just one month.
Interestingly, for years Windows 7 remained stable around 2 % of the market. With the end of the Windows 10 cycle, many seem to want to give another opportunity to what they consider the best Windows in history.
While Statcounter figures do not exactly represent the total number of equipment, they reflect a worrying trend for Microsoft, evidencing the resistance of users to adopt Windows 11. It is even speculated that some could be installing Windows 7 on equipment that already had Windows 10.

The most alarming thing for the company is that Windows 11 is not growing as much as expected just when Windows 10 approaches its end of support.
However, it is not advisable to install Windows 7 in 2025, since it is an operating system without security updates for yearswhich exposes teams to all types of malware when connecting to the Internet.
As a safe alternative, Microsoft offers extended Windows 10 updateswhich in Europe are easily accessible and allow to maintain the protected system without migrating to Windows 11.
