Update: This news is inaccurate and after 3 weeks it’s only on 53 million devices according to a new report.
A Microsoft employee who wishes to remain anonymous to the public informed Windows Central that in two days Windows 10 was already on 67 million computers. According to the tipster, Microsoft hit a maximum bandwidth of 15 TB/s, topping the previous record of Apple’s 8 TB/s during their last software update push. While the numbers aren’t verifiable until an official announcement by Microsoft, they do come from a reliable source.
According to the company, Windows 10 was already on 14 million devices in a day. A huge way of updates went out the second day so the number should’ve gone up dramatically. Microsoft aims for Windows 10 to be on a billion over the next few years and judging by this pace, that seems rather likely.
