"Working out exactly the proportion of Windows devices running version 11 versus Windows 10 is tricky. Microsoft doesn't share its telemetry, yet Lansweeper's data, which is derived from approximately 8.5 million Windows 10 and 11 devices, can provide insight into the state of the enterprise world. The figures vary wildly by sector. According to Lansweeper, transport and logistics leads the update wave, with 61.2 percent of devices running Windows 11, compared to 38.8 percent on Windows 10."
""In a lot of scenarios, it comes down to regulation, and difficulties with regulation, specific software only being approved for specific operating system versions," Esben Dochy, a principal technical evangelist for SecOps at Lansweeper told The Register. "Things like that have to go through a very long change management system where they have to approve the new operating system to test it.""
Analysis of roughly 8.5 million Windows 10 and 11 devices reveals wide sector variation in Windows 11 adoption. Transport and logistics shows 61.2 percent of devices on Windows 11 while healthcare has only 33.5 percent on Windows 11 and 66.5 percent still on Windows 10. Regulatory constraints and legacy software approvals require lengthy change-management and testing before upgrades. Administrators often delay applying final patches until thorough checks are completed due to cautious rollout behavior and recent quality issues. Windows 11 could reach about 70 percent of devices by October 14, yet many organizations may defer upgrades for weeks or months.
