If you already own Windows 10, you can readily upgrade to Windows 11 at no cost through a PC hardware change. However, if you are currently in the process of assembling a PC or planning to do so, you will likely need to purchase a license. StackSocial is currently presenting a Windows 11 Pro license offer that allows you to acquire Microsoft’s most popular operating system at a very low price. License keys are available for $15 at StackSocial, but if you apply promo code UPGRADE at checkout, you can obtain a Windows 11 Pro license for just $10. StackSocial also has Windows 11 Home for $15, though the promo code is valid only for the Pro license.
If you purchased Windows 11 Pro or Home directly from Microsoft, you would pay $200 or $139, respectively.
Note: This license is intended for “PCs that need a new license for Windows and meet the minimum specifications for Windows 11.” While you may want to verify your specifications, you can check your compatibility here.
StackSocial has a variety of other essential Microsoft software offers available right now, including Microsoft Office 2019 for $35 on PC or $40 on Mac. Meanwhile, Microsoft Office 2021 is available as part of a bundle with Windows 11 Pro for $55.
Developers can secure Visual Studio Professional 2022 for only $28, along with two Microsoft productivity applications for teams–Project and Visio Pro–are each available for $20.

Microsoft introduced Windows 11 four years ago, resulting in many computer users upgrading from the previous version. However, a significant number of gamers have remained on Windows 10. A recent Valve survey indicated that nearly half of all Steam players are still using Windows 10, which Microsoft will cease to support this October.
