Through July 26, you can pick up Microsoft Windows 11 Pro for $9.97 (MSRP $199). Whether that older computer is due for an upgrade or you just need an OS license without the usual cost, this deal makes it an easy call.

Windows 11 Pro includes everything most people expect from Windows 11, then adds features designed for professionals, developers, and pro users. That means BitLocker encryption to help protect your files, Hyper-V for running virtual machines, Windows Sandbox for safely testing apps, and Azure AD support for business environments.

You also get the everyday improvements built into Windows 11, including Snap Layouts for multitasking, Copilot integrated into the taskbar, biometric sign-in with TPM 2.0 support, and DirectX 12 Ultimate for compatible gaming hardware.

Before buying, make sure your computer meets Microsoft’s Windows 11 hardware requirements using the PC Health Check app. This license is intended for compatible PCs that need a new Windows license. If your Windows 10 PC isn’t eligible for Microsoft’s free upgrade, this license won’t override those hardware requirements.
