Windows 10扩展安全更新的第一年即将结束,随着企业权衡让Windows 10运行更长时间的成本,Windows 11的市场份额有所上升。据统计机构Statcounter称,Windows 11的市场份额已升至70%以上,达到71.5%,而Windows 10的市场份额则降至27.77%。微软没有提供有关Windows 11和10使用情况的官方统计数据,因此Statcounter的数据应视为估计值。

The first year of Windows 10 Extended Security Updates is coming to an end, and Windows 11's market share has ticked up as enterprises weigh up the cost of keeping Windows 10 running a little longer. Windows 11's market share has risen above 70 percent to 71.5 percent, while Windows 10's has dropped to 27.77 percent, according to statistics wrangler Statcounter. Microsoft does not provide official statistics on Windows 11 and 10 usage, so Statcounter's figures should be treated as estimates.

它们源自Statcounter的跟踪代码,该代码安装在全球超过100万个网站上。自去年年底Windows 11采用率激增以来,该股一直保持相对稳定,这可能是由2025年10月14日Windows 10不再支持后的升级浪潮推动的。扩展安全更新(ESU)计划允许坚持使用Windows 10,但该计划的第一年即将结束,老微软将提高第二年的价格,至少就商业客户而言是这样。

They are derived from Statcounter's tracking code, which is installed on over 1 million sites globally. The shares have remained relatively static since a surge in Windows 11 adoption at the end of last year, likely driven by the upgrade wave after Windows 10 dropped out of support on Oct 14, 2025. The Extended Security Updates (ESU) program allowed holdouts to stick with Windows 10, but the first year of that program is coming to an end, and kind old Microsoft will be hiking the prices for year two, at least as far as commercial customers are concerned.

商业用户的ESU许可证第一年每台设备的费用为61美元。微软表示,价格将连续每年翻倍,最多三年,这意味着第二年的续订价格为122美元。当然,有办法绕过收费。除了可以继续使用Windows 10并获得免费安全更新以换取Microsoft奖励积分或使用Windows备份将其设置同步到云的消费者之外,Windows 365用户也不例外。

ESU licenses cost $61 per device for the first year for commercial users. Microsoft stated that the price would double every consecutive year for a maximum of three years, meaning that a renewal for year two will come in at $122. There are ways around the charge, of course. As well as consumers who can stay with Windows 10 and receive free security updates in return for redeeming Microsoft Rewards Points or using Windows Backup to sync their settings to the cloud, Windows 365 users are also exempt.

还值得注意的是,欧洲经济区(EEA)消费者会收到无附加条件的安全更新。然而,需要Windows 10安全更新的企业必须付费,就像他们对软件行业摆脱的其他微软产品所做的那样,尽管用户群庞大。成本的上涨可能会促使一些人重新评估他们的遗产。

It's also worth noting that European Economic Area (EEA) consumers receive no-strings-attached security updates. However, enterprises that need Windows 10 security updates must pay for them, as they did with other Microsoft products the software biz moved on from despite large user bases. The rising cost may be prompting some to reassess their estates.

本月的上涨虽然远低于去年的激增,但可能预示着随着保持Windows 10设备支持的经济性开始有利于Windows 11,将会产生相当大的涟漪。企业有很多理由保留Windows 10设备:一个奇怪的硬件无法与其他任何东西一起工作,或者是一个简单的刷新周期不符合微软要求废弃旧套件以允许新软件运行的简单案例。Lansweeper的主要技术传播者Esben Dochy告诉The,其数据表明,在ESU的第一年,企业非常积极地放弃Windows 10,剩下的东西“更加粘”。

This month's uptick, while far short of last year's surge, could signal a sizeable ripple as the economics of keeping Windows 10 devices supported begin to favor Windows 11. Enterprises have plenty of reasons to keep Windows 10 devices: that one weird bit of hardware that won't work with anything else, or a simple case of a refresh cycle not fitting in with Microsoft's demand that old kit be junked to allow new software to run. Esben Dochy, a principal technology evangelist at Lansweeper, told The that its data indicated enterprises had been very active in moving off Windows 10 during the first year of ESU, with what is left being much "stickier." He reckoned there would be a "small bump" around the renewal date, and said, "The ESU price doubles for the second year, and that makes the business case for replacing the 'we'll get to it' machines a lot easier," but noted "it's likely that the steep part of the curve is behind us.

“他认为续订日期前后会出现‘小幅度的波动’,并表示,‘ESU价格第二年翻了一番,这使得更换‘我们会做到的’机器的商业案例变得容易得多,”但他指出,“很可能曲线的陡峭部分已经过去了。“其余的设备大多是那些向ESU付费比更换固定设备更便宜或更简单的设备。对于那些人来说,ESU实际上是开展业务的成本。“Statcounter的数据表明,随着ESU成本翻倍,这种‘小幅上涨’可能即将到来,但许多Windows 10的坚持似乎还不太可能发展到任何地方。®

"The remaining devices are mostly ones where paying ESU is cheaper or simpler than replacing whatever they're bolted to. For those, ESU really is the cost of doing business." The Statcounter figures indicate that that "small bump" could be on the way as ESU costs double, but many of the Windows 10 hold outs seem unlikely to be going anywhere just yet. ®
