Its audit, which is intended for system admins and IT managers, highlights the need for a \u201cquick and cost-effective\u201d tool that can check which PCs in a business network are eligible for the Windows 11 upgrade. Guess what? Lansweeper <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.lansweeper.com\">makes that tool<\/a>!<\/p>\n<p>The data presented in Lansweeper\u2019s report is very valuable, but it focuses on businesses, which tend to use outdated, discontinued, and poorly secured software. According to the audit, Lansweeper found that just 1.44% of workstations use Windows 11. That\u2019s less than Windows 10 (80.34%), Windows 7 (4.70%), and notably, Windows XP (1.71%).<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 1920px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-115152 size-full\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/p\/uploads\/2022\/04\/206d5fba.png\" alt=\"A graph showing that consumers have adopted Windows 11 at a rate twice that of businesses\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" data-crediturl=\"https:\/\/www.lansweeper.com\/itam\/is-your-business-ready-for-windows-11\/\" data-credittext=\"Lansweeper\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Consumers adopt Windows 11 at a rate twice that of businesses. <span class=\"imagecredit\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.lansweeper.com\/itam\/is-your-business-ready-for-windows-11\/\">Lansweeper<\/a><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Lansweeper doesn\u2019t explain how it retrieved these numbers, though it states that it scanned 10 million PCs, 20% of which are owned businesses. That means the company\u2019s sample size is relatively limited (there are around <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.scmo.net\/faq\/2019\/8\/9\/how-many-compaters-is-there-in-the-world\">2 billion<\/a>\u00a0active PCs on Earth), and its data is slightly skewed toward businesses and companies, which often use outdated software to run ATMs, call centers, POS systems, critical infrastructure, and so on.<\/p>\n<p>In other words, Lansweeper\u2019s data doesn\u2019t <em>prove<\/em> whether Windows XP is more popular than Windows 11. It simply highlights the fact that businesses are overly-reliant on outdated software, partially due to <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/support.microsoft.com\/en-us\/windows\/what-does-it-mean-if-windows-isn-t-supported-08f3b92d-7539-671e-1452-2e71cdad18b5\">Windows 11\u2019s strict hardware requirements<\/a>, which ensure that \u201conly 44.4% of workstations\u201d are eligible for the upgrade.<\/p>\n<p>Now, these hardware requirements also have an impact on consumers. As we reported last month, Windows 11 adoption is currently at a standstill\u00a0because the average PC user can\u2019t upgrade. But more people are using Windows 11 than Windows XP, and it\u2019s been that way for a while.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 1920px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-115153 size-full\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/p\/uploads\/2022\/04\/9958cda4.png\" alt=\"A graph showing that Windows 11 global adoption is higher than XP.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"858\" data-crediturl=\"https:\/\/gs.statcounter.com\/windows-version-market-share\/desktop\/worldwide\/#monthly-202204-202204-bar\" data-credittext=\"Statcounter\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Statcounter\u2019s data paints a more accurate picture of Windows 11 adoption. <span class=\"imagecredit\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/gs.statcounter.com\/windows-version-market-share\/desktop\/worldwide\/#monthly-202204-202204-bar\">Statcounter<\/a><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>For a more accurate look at Windows 11 popularity, we should use <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/gs.statcounter.com\/windows-version-market-share\/desktop\/worldwide\/#monthly-202204-202204-bar\">Statcounter\u2019s data<\/a>.
