TL;DR: Get Windows 11 Pro on sale for $9.97 (reg. $199) through August 2.
Last year, Microsoft ended support for Windows 10. That means any computer still running an old operating system has missed out on months of security updates that keep your PC safe. If you want to upgrade to Windows 11 Pro, it’s only $9.97 through August 2 (reg. $199).
Windows 11 Pro comes with a wide range of upgrades over previous versions. BitLocker encrypts your whole drive, so if your laptop gets stolen, nobody can pull files off the disk. Hyper-V runs a second operating system inside Windows, so you can spin up Linux or another build of Windows in a window without dual-booting. Windows Sandbox creates a clean, throwaway copy of Windows for opening a sketchy file or testing an unknown app, then closing it without anything touching your real install. Azure AD connects the machine to work accounts through Microsoft 365.
Snap layouts let you drag a window to the edge of the screen and drop it into a preset grid alongside your other open apps. DirectX 12 Ultimate runs modern games with ray tracing and variable rate shading at full quality. Copilot lives in the taskbar to answer questions, summarize long web pages, or draft content on demand. Windows Hello signs you in with your face or fingerprint through the TPM 2.0 chip, so you don’t have to type a password every time you open the lid.
Through August 2 at 11:59 p.m. PT, it’s only $9.97 to get Windows 11 Pro.
