When Microsoft initially released Windows 10 back in 2015, the company stated that it expects 1 billion devices to run the new Windows OS by the summer of 2018. However, the Redmond giant achieved this goal a bit later in March 2020 when the company reported that Windows 10 powers 1 billion devices around the world. Today, Microsoft announced that the number has grown to 1.3 billion devices.
During its Q1 2021 earnings call, Microsoft revealed that Windows 10 now powers over 1.3 billion monthly active devices around the world. The company gained over 300 million new Windows 10 users, since crossing the 1 billion mark in 2020.
So, as you can imagine, these are some pretty decent numbers for Microsoft in terms of revenues as well as OS adoption rate. Moreover, as per earlier reports, the Redmond giant is planning to completely overhaul Windows 10 this year and might also finally release its much-awaited Windows 10X OS for consumers.
