When Microsoft completely terminates Windows 10 support in October this year, the abandoned system will usher in an embarrassing milestone - a complete four years after its successor, Win11, has not truly conquered Steam players.Valve's 44-month hardware survey data reveals a surprising fact: PC players still refuse to upgrade even when faced with security risks.

This trend chart is obtained by analyzing the historical archives of Steam hardware surveys:

· Windows 11: After being released in October 2021, it took nearly three years to surpass Win10 for the first time in August 2024

· Windows 10: It still accounts for 37% of the current share of Win7 (0.1%)

· Death countdown: According to linear recession, it takes 82 months (next to 7 years) to drop to Win7 level

Forced hardware such as TPM 2.0 requires hundreds of millions of PCs with sufficient performance to be kept out.Although security updates will continue until 2025, the feature freeze after October may cause a cliff-like loss of users.

In addition, according to Valve's Steam hardware survey data, since the release of Steam Deck in February 2022, the usage of Linux systems has shown the following trends:

· Linux share has increased by 2.5 times in three years (1%→2.5%)

· Although the absolute value is not high, the growth rate has exceeded that of Windows 11 (3.7 times in the same period)

· As SteamOS logs on to more devices, the growth curve may steeper

Valve never expected to compete with Microsoft in the operating system market, but the pattern of the PC gaming ecosystem is undergoing subtle changes when millions of Steam Deck users proved the feasibility of Linux games.
