In September Windows 10 lost .5% in market share and in October only managed to eke out a 0.06% gain. For a net loss of market share over the the last two months.
Windows 7 managed to increase in market share by .11% while Windows 8/8.1 claimed an increase of .96%.
Users appear to be leaving Windows 10 in favor of the older versions. While at the same time no one seems willing to either buy a PC with it installed or pay for the Windows 10 upgrade.

I don’t think we’re that lucky, I did try giving 10 a good go but its a PITA to use and after I heard a major update wipes your partition table I’ve just not bothered booting it since.
The wife has to use a win10 machine when she does her charity work, she has a heap of win10 books from the library and I can’t remember the last time she had a problem with her home desktop which she even keeps up to date too!
I just don’t get where people get this idea its easy to use and it drives a horse and cart through privacy…
