Steam shared the results of the hardware and software surveys it conducts regularly every month. Thus, we can have information about critical details such as which operating systems, graphics cards and RAM capacities users prefer. So, which are the most used operating systems as of December 2023?
Most used operating systems – December 2023
Steam shared the most used operating systems of December. Accordingly, Windows 11, which was released last year and was not on the agenda with serious problems in the first place, is still not a version preferred by gamers, although it has been largely free of problems recently. In fact, last month, usage rates dropped by 0.09 percent to 41.95 percent.
Windows 10, which has the largest share in the pie, did not experience a noticeable increase or decrease last month. Because, although the version experienced a decrease of 0.08 percent in December, it had a market share of 53.45 percent. On the other hand, Windows 7, which left its mark on a period and has recently lost update support, received a share of 0.68 percent from the cake with a decrease of 0.01 percent last month.
