Microsoft Windows is the most popular operating system on the planet, holding a whopping 74% of the global desktop PC market as of 2023. The majority of those computers are running Windows 10, arguably Microsoft’s best version of the hugely successful OS so far.
Plenty of users are still rocking older systems with versions like Windows 7, Vista, and even the historically beloved Window XP. If you’ve ever touched a computer (and we don’t know how you’d be reading this if you hadn’t), chances are you’ve experienced at least one iteration of Microsoft’s long-running software.
Now Windows 11 is here, and Windows 12 is slated to arrive soon(ish) - so naturally we’re covering everything Windows-related on a weekly basis. Below, you’ll find everything related to Microsoft’s flagship operating system - news, tips, analysis, and more.
