If you own a PC and it’s running on Windows 10, you have just earned yourself a bragging right since the latest news from Microsoft tent is that there are more than 900 million devices running on Windows 10 and the company is edging closer to its 1 billion mark by 2020.
Microsoft said in a statement this week that there have been more new Windows 10 devices in the last 12 months than in any previous year since it was introduced in 2015.
This can be owed to the fact that Windows 10 is at least the only decent Operating System after Windows 7 and Microsoft has thrown a ton of resources and innovation behind the product to make it consumer-friendly and I am glad the effort is paying off at last.

The company hit the 700 million mark of devices in September 2018, followed by 800 million in March and 900 million this month. More than 50 percent of all PCs are now running Microsoft’s latest operating system (OS), which comes after over four years of its release.
The latest OS had 48.86 percent market share in July and gained 2.13 percentage points to hit 50.99 per cent in August. However, growth has been slow ever since the Windows 10 free upgrade expired in July 2016.
