It's taken Windows 10 just three months to overtake Windows 8 in popularity among Steam's active users, according to Valve's latest hardware survey.
Games Industry (http://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/2015-11-04-more-than-25-percent-of-steam-users-running-windows-10) reports Steam's October 2015 survey shows nearly 28 per cent of participating users have made the jump to Microsoft's new operating system. That's up 3 per cent from September, which itself saw an 8 per cent increase from August.
Windows 10 is now the second most used operating system behind Windows 7, combining for 42 per cent of the total between 32 and 64-bit versions.
Back in July, Microsoft began offering the new OS as a free upgrade (http://www.mcvuk.com/news/read/windows-10-gets-a-release-date/0150260) to anyone that had a PC running one of the last couple generations of Windows.
