  • $9.97 buys a one-device lifetime license for Windows 11 Pro until May 18 at 11:59 p.m. PT, down from the usual $199.
  • Windows 11 Pro pitches the upgrade on built-in security and productivity tools, including TPM 2.0 support, Smart App Control, BitLocker, biometric login, Snap layouts and virtual desktops.
  • DirectX 12 Ultimate and Copilot are also part of the package, targeting gamers, creative users and people who want AI help with writing, web summaries and coding tasks.
  • The software requires at least 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage, and the license cannot be transferred to another PC.
  • The offer comes as users on older Windows versions face pressure to upgrade after Windows 10 support ended last October.
