The big picture: Before Windows 11 launched, it was met with controversy over its confusing system requirements. A few months later, data is beginning to show that this may have stalled the operating system’s adoption. How severely depends on who you ask.

That’s less than the 1.71% still using the 20-year-old Windows XP and the 4.7% using Windows 7. Windows 10 predictably dominates, detected on 80.34% of systems. Another Lansweeper survey of over 30 million devices reveals what is likely a major factor in Windows 11’s sluggish adoption: over half of enterprise workstations don’t meet its system requirements.
