Windows 10 is now installed on over 300 million devices! It has been less than a year since the launch of Windows 10 and it has grown at a tremendous pace! Microsoft also released some interesting statistics regarding Windows 10. Check them out below.
-Over 63 billion minutes were spent on Microsoft Edge in March alone, with 50% growth in minutes since the last quarter. Exclusively available on Windows 10, Microsoft Edge is our modern browser for helping you get things done.
-Cortana, the personal digital assistant in Windows 10, has helped answer over 6 billion questions since launch.
-People are playing games on Windows 10 more than ever before, with over 9 billion hours of gameplay on Windows 10 since launch.
-Apps that come with Windows 10, including Photos, Groove Music, and Movies & TV are seeing millions of active users each month, including more than 144 million people using Photos.
-And, the Windows Store continues to grow daily with new Universal Windows Platform apps like Facebook, Instagram, and Facebook Messenger; updated UWP apps from Vine, Hulu, Netflix and Twitter; and popular PC games including Rise of the Tomb Raider and Quantum Break.
Along with the announcement of Windows 10 reaching a new milestone, a reminder for those who haven’t upgraded to Windows 10 yet was also made. The last day to update for free is July 29, 2016. After that date you can still upgrade your device to Windows 10, but it will cost $119 for the full version of Windows 10 Home. I suggest upgrading as soon as possible to enjoy the many awesome features that Windows 10 has to offer!
