TL;DR: Through March 24, you can save $169 when upgrading your PC to Windows 10 Pro for added features and security protections.
This might be a hot take, but we don’t think newer — as in the latest devices or software — always means better. As an example, everyone’s talking about Windows 11, even though those of us who enjoy the classic interfaces or are still using an older PC don’t want it or can’t get it. But, if you still want an upgrade, Windows 10 Pro is an option. It has more security integrations, smoother performance, and better multitasking than the Home (free) version, and it’s currently on sale for $29.97 (reg. $199) through March 24.
How is this upgrade hundreds less than retail? A trusted Microsoft partner negotiated this low price. Plus, each code can upgrade two compatible devices.
Not the latest OS, but it might be the best
No matter which operating system your PC currently has, Windows 10 Pro offers several upgrades. Those still on Windows 7 or 8 (we won’t judge) will get a design makeover, while those with Windows 10 Home will simply get access to exclusive features.
There are actually so many that we had to make a list:
Bitlocker device encryption provides advanced data security
Firewall and network protection that acts as a safety net from viruses, malware, and ransomware
Remote desktop access, allowing you to control your PC and access its files from any remote device
Hyper-V to run virtual machines
Group Policy for remote workers to define specific rules for users or devices
Azure Active Directory that allows you to log into your accounts across Windows 10, Microsoft 365 (not included), and other services with a single password
Cortana voice assistant for managing tasks or searching your system
Review hardware requirements before purchase
Not sure if your PC can handle the upgrade to Windows 10 Pro? Let’s figure it out together. Some requirements are it having a minimum: 1GHz processor, 1GB of RAM, and 16GB of free space (32-bit), or 2GB of RAM and 32GB of space (64-bit).
