How much of that number jump was due to the forced windows update “upgrades”? The first year after Win10 was released was "free upgrade" year, and the uptake rate was really quite good, for three reasons:
- People were excited and curious.
- It was free (if you had Win7 SP1 or Win8.1).
- Microsoft aggressively pushed it out to everybody it could reach, even to the point of p*ssing people off.
After a year of that, it stopped being free, and the uptake rate took a nosedive, for three reasons:
- People were no longer as excited or curious.
- It cost real money.
- Microsoft stopped pushing it out.
How much of the curve was due to which effect? Got me. I think they all were significant.
