Back in October, it was reported that Windows 10 had surpassed the 110 million installs milestone and now, it seems that the company has closed out the year with just over 200 million installs.

Microsoft which remains the market leader in the Operating systems space for Desktop and Laptops has revealed figures of the market share of its Windows OS.

According to data published by metrics vendor Net Applications, Windows 10 is now installed on 164 million PCs globally. Knocking Windows XP down the ranking would be a symbolic victory for the company. These stats show Windows 10 and Windows 8 traffic at pretty much the same level throughout most of December 2015, but right now Windows 10 traffic appears to be increasing.

The report further adds that Windows 10’s user base did rise last month, though was slightly less than the growth seen in the previous month. Windows 7 had accumulated a 11.2% share of all Windows PCs through its fifth full month, slightly more than Windows 10’s 10.9% in December.

As you can see from the graph below, StatCounter places Windows 10 at just below 12% market share, with Windows 8 sitting just a bit above that same percentage. But soon after that, the growth slowed down and fewer people made a decision to give the new OS a try. Windows Vista is on 1.62 percent of PCs. This means that users who have been holding off due to the somewhat crippled design of Windows 8.x are finally considering the upgrade as a worthwhile one, especially after the November Update, which has smoothed out some -but not all- of Windows 10’s rough edges. Windows 7 has a market share of 56% (precisely 55.68 %).
