Data from Net Market Share suggests that just eight per cent of PCs use the Windows 8 operating system, which was introduced in 2012. In contrast, 67 per cent of PCs still use Windows 7, while the much older Windows XP is installed on 13 per cent of PCs. Microsoft aims to encourage all Windows users to upgrade to Windows 10 by allowing them to upgrade to the new operating system for free.
