Windows 10 quickly takes 4.95 percent of OS market share

In under three weeks, Microsoft's new Windows 10 operating system has quickly taken significant market share.


The OS has been well received, and is free for legitimate Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 owners.

According to StatCounter, Windows 10 has reached 53 million installs, good for 4.95 percent of a massive market.

By comparison, Windows 8.1 had 13.09 percent market share before Windows 10 was released, following nearly two years on the market. OS X 10.10 only had 4.74 percent share, meaning in three weeks Windows 10 has surpassed Apple's year-old OS.

Windows 7 remains with the lion share at 60.75 percent, but that number is expected to continue falling.
