TL;DR: Get Windows 11 Pro today for $13 (Reg. $199).

In case you missed it, Microsoft ended support for Windows 10. That means no more security updates or patches, and a significantly increased risk for any machine still running Windows 10. However, it is also now even cheaper to upgrade to Windows 11 Pro. Instead of paying $199, now it’s only $13.

Is it really $13 to upgrade to Windows 11 Pro?

Actually, it’s $12.97.

Here’s what that gets you.

Windows 11 Pro has a more organized interface with cleaner layouts and enhanced security. The Start Menu is simplified for quicker navigation, and Snap Layouts help you arrange multiple apps on screen without dragging windows around. If you use a second monitor, Redocking automatically restores your layout when you reconnect. It feels more intentional and less cluttered than Windows 10.

Security is where the upgrade matters most. Because Windows 10 will not get security patches anymore, vulnerabilities will build up over time. Windows 11 Pro includes stronger safeguards like BitLocker device encryption, Smart App Control, and TPM 2.0 support. These protect against unauthorized access, malware, and data theft. If you store work files or personal documents on your PC, this alone makes the upgrade worth considering.

Windows 11 Pro also has new professional tools that aren’t available in Windows 11 Home. Hyper-V lets you run virtual machines for software testing. Windows Sandbox allows you to open suspicious files in a disposable environment, which protects your main system. For remote work or business login setups, Windows 11 Pro integrates with Azure AD, making it easier to manage accounts and permissions.

It’s time to upgrade.
