English to Norwegian (Bokmal): PC-spillere omfavner Windows 11 General field: Tech/Engineering Detailed field: IT (Information Technology)
Source text - English It looks like PC gamers could finally be embracing Windows 11, at least according to last month's Steam Hardware and Software Survey.
The monthly Steam Survey allows users to fill in information anonymously about the software and hardware they use. This information allows gamers, developers, and Valve itself to see what is popular and help direct what they offer on the platform.
The recent September 2022 survey gave us some interesting information: one in four Steam users has now updated to Windows 11. The steady climb of 1.05% from the previous month is unsurprisingly paired with a slight decrease in Windows 10 users. Windows 10 users comprised around 76% of survey respondents on Windows systems in May 2022, with that figure now sitting at 71.4%.
Windows 10 is currently used by 71.4% of total users and is the most popular operating system, though we may see a change in that as more gamers gradually update their systems. Windows 7 clings onto the third place, the 13-year-old operating system still going strong. Despite Apple’s insistence that Macs can be viable for gaming, macOS users only account for 2.36% of all respondents.
Why are people reluctant to update to Windows 11?
The little window that appears begging you to update your OS is probably one of the most ignored pop-ups ever, and so it’s no surprise that there has been a bit of a slow burn when it comes to people updating from Windows 10 or even Windows 7 to Windows 11.
The new Windows 11 update requires your PC to have a TPM 2.0 chip, which most newer motherboards will have. But if you’re using older hardware then you aren’t likely to have TPM 2.0 support, so you can’t really update your operating system unless you update your entire setup, which is a lot of effort and money to invest into an OS you might not even like.
Besides, change is hard. We spend a lot of time at our desks these days, working and playing on our PCs and laptops, and we get so used to our systems that we can’t be bothered to relearn something. Why would you change what you know and love when you don’t actually have to? People are more likely to just hold out until they absolutely have to upgrade (that’s October 2025, still three years away) and bite the bullet when that time comes.
Microsoft is yet to push hard for the new Windows update, and until then it may remain an afterthought in a lot of people's minds. Until they essentially force people to update to Windows 11, we don’t foresee a very steep increase in Steam's next few surveys.
Translation - Norwegian (Bokmal) Det ser ut til at gamere begynner å få sansen for Windows 11, i hvert fall når vi leser september-utgaven av Hardware and Software Survey fra spillplattformen Steam.
Via Steam Survey kan brukerne hver måned sende inn anonym informasjon om hva slags programvare og maskinvare de bruker. Disse opplysningene lar spillere, utviklere og Valve, som driver Steam, se hva som er populært, og bidrar direkte til hva som tilbys på plattformen.
Den nylige september 2022-undersøkelen viser noe interessant: 1 av 4 Steam-brukere har oppdatert til Windows 11. Den jevne økningen på 1,05% fra forrige måned korresponderer ikke overraskende med en liten nedgang i Windows 10-brukere. I mai 2022 lå prosentandelen med Windows 10 på 76%, et tall som nå er nede i 71,4%.
Windows 10 er altså det mest populære operativsystemet blant Steam-brukerne, men vi ser at dette tallet holder på å endre seg nå som flere etter hvert oppdaterer systemene sine. Windows 7 klorer seg fast på en tredjeplass, til tross for at det nå er 13 år gammelt. Selv om Apple insisterer på at Mac fungerer godt til spill, er andelen Mac-brukere i undersøkelsen kun 2,36%.
Hvor kommer motstanden mot å oppdatere til Windows 11 fra?
Det lille vinduet som spretter opp og ber deg om å oppdatere operativsystemet er antagelig et av de mest oversette varslene noensinne. Det er ingen overraskelse at oppdateringer fra Windows 10, eller til og med Windows 7, til Windows 11 går tregt.
Den nye Windows 11-oppdateringen krever at du har en PC med TPM 2.0 -brikke, noe de fleste nye hovedkort har. Dersom du bruker eldre maskinvare har du antagelig ikke støtte for TPM, og får dermed ikke mulighet til å oppdatere operativsystemet uten å legge ned tid og penger på å oppgradere utstyret ditt. For å få et operativsystem du kanskje ikke engang vil være fornøyd med.
Dessuten, forandringer sitter langt inne. Vi bruker mye tid foran PC-skjermene våre både på jobb og i fritiden, og blir så vant til vårt eget oppsett at vi ikke har ork til å lære oss noe nytt. Hvorfor skulle vi ville endre noe vi kjenner og som vi er fornøyde med, når vi ikke må? Det er mer sannsynlig at de fleste av oss holder på det vi har til vi tvinges til å oppgradere. Hvilket vil si om tre år, i oktober 2025.
Foreløpig har ikke Microsoft kjørt hardt på den nye Windows-oppdateringen heller. Inntil de begynner gjøre det, vil det ha en lav prioritet hos mange av oss.
