The latest Steam survey numbers are out and they have revealed increased adoption of Microsoft's latest OS among users of the gaming platform, while Windows 7 and 8 have continued to decline



From Neowin:

Windows 10 has seen steady adoption among Steam users ever since its release, and the OS is getting closer to toppling Windows 7 from the top with each passing month. The Steam survey results for the month of December revealed that the OS had managed to grab 32.5 percent share among its users, and now that stands at over 34 percent, while Windows 7 is still the leader with more than 42 percent penetration.

According to the results of the January 2016 Steam survey, Windows 10 64-bit increased its market share by 1.52 percent while the 32-bit version grew by 0.07 percent. The most-used OS among Steam users is still the 64-bit version of Windows 7, which holds 34.31 percent share. However, it could lose its crown within a month or two if the current rate of decline continues. The 32-bit version of Windows 7 is still being used by 7.7 percent of the users but that number hasn't changed in a couple of months.
