Back-to-school software steals: Microsoft Windows 11 Pro is less than $15
https://www.usatoday.com/story/shopping/exclusive-deals-microsoft-software/83569681007/
Quote:
93% off Microsoft Windows 11 Pro
Normally $199, get this software for $14.97 right now.

For professionals seeking advanced features, Microsoft Windows 11 Pro is the ideal choice. It offers a powerful user experience with tools designed for productivity and focus. Key features include app compatibility, cloud management, and Zero Trust security measures.

I ordered it and received an email with a link from some USA Today Shopping account. I clicked the link, retrieved my installer code, and it worked. My new Windows 11 VM was successfully activated. You get your code from a usatoday.com webpage; not from Microsoft. There is a 30 day limit to retrieve the code.

You can also buy Windows 11 Home for the same price.

I looked more closely at the usatoday page and realized that I could buy Office at a steep discount at well. I just bought Office Professional Plus 2019 for $26.96. Office 2021 was also available but about $20 more.

That is a good idea anyway. Before you install a new version, I always recommend uninstalling every bit of any old version and restarting. Then install the new version. In most cases, your configuration will be saved and you will be able to see everything in the new version. It's just a cleaner way to install.

Everything worked. Got a refreshed Visio license and grabbed a Windows 11 Pro license for a future PC I will purchase. Likely a Pawn Shop special.
