With the official release of Windows 10 Mobile to the public, the new OS continues to grow, increasing by 1.5%, recording a share of 9.2%, compared to 7.7% last month. Moreover, Windows Phone 8.1 saw quite a sharp decline of 2.0%. AdDuplex presumes that with this recorded trend, not everyone leaving WP 8.1 is hopping onboard to Windows 10 Mobile.


The firm also recorded an increase in old versions of Microsoft's mobile OS. Windows Phone 7.x rose by 0.3%, and Windows Phone 8.0 by 0.1%, suggesting that people who own devices running these OSes still opt to continue using them.
