The latest figures have shown that adoption of Windows 10 has risen for the smallest amount since the operating system’s release.
Data from industry observers Netmarketshare estimates that Windows 10 now claims 7.94 percent of the total PC operating system market. This is up from 6.63 percent last month, marking a 1.31 percent increase, however this is less than the growth seen from August to September, which was 1.42 percent.

Microsoft says its mission is to get Windows 10 running on more than one billion devices, while businesses are also being encouraged to upgrade.
The company is reportedly preparing the first major update to Windows 10, codenamed ‘Threshold 2’, for launch later this month, promising a wide range of user interface and software improvements to Windows 10, including updates to some of the most popular apps such as Messaging and Skype.
It will also include the option of coloured title bars for desktop apps, improved context menus, and an extra column of Live Tiles for the Start menu.
