Microsoft has started prompting Windows 7 users with desktop notifications to move to its latest OS version, but the latest NetMarketShare figures show that Windows 7 users are not ready to move away from OS anytime soon.

The figures last month show a minor decline in the market share of Windows 7 from 36.52% to 36.43% which shows that not many users are upgrading to Windows 10 yet.

Microsoft has already confirmed that it will be ending support for its Windows 7 OS version in January 2020 and has already started showing the end of support upgrade notifications on Windows 7.

In spite of all these efforts, it seems the transition from Windows 7 to Windows 10 could be a bit slower for the Redmond Giant.

The report also revealed a slight increase in market share of Windows 10 from 43.62% to 44.10%. The market share of Windows 10 is expected to see a noticable jump in the coming months.

Microsoft will be pushing out a new version “Windows 10 May 2019 Update” as early as next week with many new features which could prompt users to make the switch from Windows 7 to Windows 10.

It is worth noting that Windows 10 continues to be the number one desktop platform albeit a slight gain from Windows 7. It remains to be seen if the market share of Windows 10 increases after the release of the latest feature update next week.
