Source: Windows 10 tops Windows 7 as most popular OS Just in time for the new year, a report from New Marketshare puts Windows 10 in the top spot for desktop operating systems. It’s the first time Microsoft’s OS took the top spot since hitting the market three and a half years ago. At 39.22 percent of the market, Windows 10’s rise isn’t an overnight success story, but its notable, given the rocky reception its other operating systems have received in recent years.
