Give Someone a Boost of Productivity With Windows 11 Pro, Now Under $25

Opening a gift and finding that it’s the latest Microsoft Surface laptop is sure to delight anyone, but a spanking new laptop (or refurbished one!) is no good without a reliable, powerful OS.

Fortunately, it’s now more affordable than ever to grab Microsoft’s latest OS offering: Windows 11 Pro. Packed with productivity-boosting features, secure advancements, and even AI power, lifetime access to Windows 11 Pro is now only $24.97 (reg. $199). This could be the perfect last-minute gift for any PC user.

Boasting a user-friendly interface, Windows 11 Pro’s features are easy to navigate and include productivity features like snap layouts, desktops, seamless re-docking, improved voice typing, and much more. Professionals may significantly benefit from Windows Hello for Business, which offers management tools for remote work, multi-factor authentication, and certificate-based authentication.

Windows 11 Pro’s security is also impressive, offering users biometrics login, TPM 2.0, and Smart App Control. There’s even Windows Information Protection to separate work and personal data, BitLocker Encryption to protect users’ hard drives, and Microsoft Information Protection to shield users’ info from data leaks.

Perhaps the most exciting feature of this OS is Windows Copilot, an AI-enhanced feature that can assist with changing settings, summarizing text, and even launching playlists. Updates to Paint are also available, giving users enhanced image editing tools.
