Windows 10 is reportedly installed on over 200 million devices
Without accounting for a declining rate of installations, this equates to an estimated 40 million installs every month. Microsoft aims to reach one billion installs within three years of Windows 10’s availability, which is still probable if the installation rate doesn’t heavily drop. This isn't likely to be the case however, when Windows 10 is no longer offered as a free upgrade to Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 users during July of 2016.
Currently we are unsure whether this figure includes installs on Windows 10 Mobile devices and Xbox One consoles, which can now be upgraded to a reworked dashboard built on the Windows 10 kernel. When Microsoft next reports official figures for Windows 10 installations, this will give us a better estimate of whether Microsoft is still likely to meet their goal of 1 billion installations in 2018.

One major step for them, Windows 10 is their best OS and the first actual upgrade since W7, ive been using it since the alpha builds were given out, and man, it has come a long way.

It was way better than their last OS so this is not surprising. Just a little disappointed they didn't name it Windows 9. Rolls off the tongue a lot smoother.

personally i don't like windows 10 because it's just too confusing for me. That's why i still use windows 7.

Daniel 200 million devices that is insane, I knew it would be alot but i didnt think it would be this much.
relatively I don't think that number is astonishing considering that there's about 1.2 billion people in the developed world, excluding the people in developing countries who still have access to devices with win 10
