Windows 10 is a security risk, and Windows 11 Home doesn’t have everything you need. To get all the tools that power users and IT workers need, you have to get 11 Pro. Right now, a Microsoft Windows 11 Pro lifetime license is on sale for $9.97 (reg. $199), and you pay once with no subscription.

Pro adds BitLocker full-disk encryption, so a lost or stolen laptop doesn’t give up your files along with the hardware. Hyper-V lets you run virtual machines, and Windows Sandbox provides an isolated space to test unfamiliar apps without affecting your main system. For work machines, Azure AD connects the PC to business networks for identity and access management.

You also get Snap layouts for multitasking, DirectX 12 Ultimate for gaming, fingerprint or face login backed by TPM 2.0, and Copilot in the taskbar. Updates are included.
