Microsoft’s 10-year-old operating system, which just hit the end of support phase, is still proving popular among consumers and businesses. Dell revealed this week that around 500 million machines are capable of upgrading to Windows 11, but are sticking with Windows 10 instead. “We have about 500 million of them capable of running Windows 11 that haven’t been upgraded,” said Dell COO Jeffrey Clarke on a Q3 earnings call earlier this week, referring to the overall PC market, not just Dell’s slice of machines. “And we have another 500 million that are four years old that can’t run Windows 11.” He sees this as an opportunity to guide customers towards the latest Windows 11 machines and AI PCs, but warns that the PC market is going to be relatively flat next year. It’s the first time we’ve heard that as many as 500 million machines are holding off upgrading to Windows 11, and that a similar amount simply can’t. Microsoft tightened its hardware requirements for Windows 11, leaving behind millions of PCs that were sold over the past decade. I expected millions of consumers to stick with Windows 10 if they couldn’t upgrade due to the hardware requirements, but Microsoft’s decade-old OS is clearly a lot stickier among consumer and commercial PCs than I thought. Dell’s Windows 11 upgrade numbers come just a week after Windows chief Pavan Davuluri said that “nearly a billion people rely on Windows 11.” It’s not clear what rely means here, as Microsoft has typically provided monthly device numbers in the past.</div>

戴爾報告稱，約有 5 億台能夠升級到 Windows 11 的個人電腦仍在使用 Windows 10。戴爾首席運營官傑弗裏·克拉克將此視為推廣 Windows 11 和人工智能個人電腦的機會，儘管明年個人電腦市場的預測持平。微軟對 Windows 11 的硬件要求使許多個人電腦無法升級，導致轉型緩慢
