StatCounter saw a sudden increase in market share for Windows 7 and a big decrease in market share for Windows 10. [1] Somerandomaccountidk (talk) 07:42, 30 September 2025 (UTC)
Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. AlphaBetaGamma (Talk/report any mistakes here) 12:42, 30 September 2025 (UTC)

- By making requests that look something like "Change the word 'butter' to 'cheese'"; or "after the words 'degree in physics' add 'and an MA in mathematics'". Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 13:38, 30 September 2025 (UTC)
StatCounter source is unreliable
[edit]It fundamentally makes no sense whatsoever that a large portion of Windows 10 users downgrade to Windows 7 in a timeframe of two months, just near its end-of-support date. I've found at least two sources which doubt the latest data from Statcounter:
- https://www.windowslatest.com/2025/10/02/no-windows-7-isnt-gaining-market-share-in-2025/
- https://www.zdnet.com/article/windows-7-is-surging-and-people-are-ditching-their-iphones-if-you-believe-these-charts/
Additionally, this source from July 2025 raises suspicion about the rate at which Windows 10 users are migrating to Windows 11:
As a result, I have tagged the sentence, "As of 2025, 9.15% of traditional PCs running Windows are running Windows 7." with Template:Dubious for the time being. — AP 499D25 (talk) 03:48, 9 October 2025 (UTC)
- @AP 499D25 I Added “unreliable source?” now
