Get Microsoft Windows 11 Pro for just $18 before this ultra-low price disappears
In the software world, Microsoft Windows is iconic. For decades, they’ve powered gaming machines, office workstations and everything in between. But getting one for your own home office isn’t exactly cheap, with the latest version costing you around $200. Luckily, StackSocial currently has a dramatic price drop that will allow you to get a Microsoft Windows Pro 11 license for just $18. That’s a huge savings of $181, but StackSocial’s deals don’t last forever and it’s ending soon. If you want to receive this prize, we recommend that you make your purchase quickly.
While this is an excellent deal, it’s important to note that not every computer can run Windows 11. So before you buy it, check whether your machine complies with the requirements for the operating system. If you have a PC already running Windows 10 and you are unable to install the free upgrade to Windows 11 via Windows Update, your computer is not compatible with this version.
Hey, did you know? CNET Deals copy is free, easy, and saves you money.
After purchasing the license, you will receive an activation key that allows you to install and activate Windows 11 Pro on one computer. You then have 30 days to redeem your download code before it expires.
If you are doing a standard upgrade from an older version of Windows, the download and installation process is quite simple. For advanced users – people building a new computer or wanting to dual-boot an existing computer with a second operating system – some additional steps will be required. In those cases, you may need a second PC to open and download the files. So make sure you can access everything from another computer in your home or have a friend’s machine that you can use temporarily. Also keep in mind that you’ll want to have a USB stick on hand to transfer the file.
If you’re still using Windows 10 and don’t want to move to Windows 11, there’s also a Windows 10 Pro license available for purchase for just $18. This offer ends soon, so act quickly to lock in that price.
