Windows 10 has reportedly surpassed 100 million installations
Earlier this month, our sources stated that Microsoft is quickly approaching 100 million Windows 10 installs. That's significant, because it's worth considering the rate at which the Windows 10 rollout has proceeded so far. From Microsoft's figures, we know that it took 24 hours to get to 14 million installations and then another couple of weeks to surpass the 50 million figure, encompassing 4.95% of the market.
The Redmond giant previously stated that its aim was to have 1 billion Windows 10 devices in the next three years, and given that it has already reached 10% of its goal in just two months, this is quite an admirable feat.
Microsoft has scheduled an event on October 6, where it plans to showcase new Windows 10 devices including new Windows 10 Mobile flagships, an updated version of its Band wearable and the Surface Pro 4; featuring Intel's new sixth-generation 'Skylake' processors, support for Windows Hello password-free biometric authentication, and more.
Given that Microsoft's official statistics page still lists 75 million Windows 10 installations so far, it is quite possible that the company plans to announce the 100 million installs figure at its event in a few days.

I actually really like the OS, I haven't had any problems with it and it just seems like a direct upgrade to windows 7 to me.

ProProdigy My question is how many uninstalls have occurred.
Probably more than half I would say!
A good amount, not more than half but tons of people moved over to Linux because of poor driver support and other nefarious reasons.
