Office 2019 comes with Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, OneNote, Publisher, and Access. You pay once and install it on one Windows PC for home or work, and you never have to deal with any recurring fees like you would with Microsoft 365. This version of Office may be a few years old, but it still works great, and you don’t have to worry about clumsy AI integrations or other unasked for changes.
Windows 11 Pro adds tools that Windows 11 Home leaves out. BitLocker encrypts your whole drive, and Hyper-V lets you run virtual machines on the same PC. Windows Sandbox is useful for testing a sketchy app without risking your main system. Gamers also get DirectX 12 Ultimate, and Copilot opens right from the taskbar to answer questions and summarize pages.
Before buying, run Microsoft’s PC Health Check app to confirm your PC supports Windows 11, including TPM 2.0. A Windows 10 machine that can’t take the free upgrade through Windows Update won’t be able to run Windows 11 Pro.
Stop paying separately for your operating system and your office apps.
