10% of Windows 10 devices now run the Creators Update
Sony and ASUS computers have the highest level of adoption after Microsoft
and MSI.
Just a week after the Windows 10 Creators Update rolling out to machines
across the world, it's already running on 10% of Windows 10 devices,
according to statistic monitoring service AdDuplex.
The majority of Windows 10 computers (82.1%) are still running the
Anniversary update though, while 6% are using version 1511 and 1.8% are
still using the original RTM release of the platform, which will stop being
supported from 9 May.
AdDuplex collected information from 5,000 Windows 10 apps running the
AdDuplex SDK v.2 and higher on 24 April.
The highest adoption of Windows 10 Creators update has been on Microsoft and
MSI hardware, with around 20% of users installing the most up to date
version of the operating system. Sony and ASUS follow behind with around 10%
of their users adopting the Creators Update, while Toshiba's customers are
the furthest behind.
The Windows 10 Creators Update was due to start rolling out to mobile
devices yesterday and - although it will be a staged update (with four out
of the top 10 devices not due to get it at all) - it would seem some devices
received it early. The Lumia 640 accounts for 13.3% of devices running the
update, with more than 11% share going to the Lumia 550, Lumia 535, Lumia
650 and Lumia 640 XL.
Only 60% of devices running Windows 10 will be able to take advantage of the
Creators Update, although the remaining 40% will be able to do so, but
without Microsoft's support and only if they opt in to the Release Preview,
AdDuplex found.
A third of Surface Books are running the Creators Update, while a quarter of
Surface Pro 4 users have installed it. Those using older Microsoft devices
are slower to upgrade, AdDuplex said.
