Last year, Microsoft ended support for Windows 10, which means any computer still running the old operating system has missed out on months of security updates that keep your PC safe.
Now is the time to upgrade to Windows 11 Pro, which offers a wide range of upgrades over previous versions. This includes BitLocker, which encrypts your whole drive, so if your laptop gets stolen, nobody can pull files off the disk.
Other key features of Windows 11 Pro include Hyper-V, which runs a second operating system inside Windows, allowing you to spin up Linux or another build of Windows in a window without dual-booting. Windows Sandbox also 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, making it easier to stay connected on the go. 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, providing a seamless gaming experience. Copilot lives in the taskbar to answer questions, summarize long web pages, or draft content on demand, making it easier to stay productive.
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. With these upgrades, now is the time to upgrade to Windows 11 Pro.
Through August 2 at 11:59 p.m. PT, you can get Windows 11 Pro for just $9.97, a significant discount from the regular price of $199.
