Monday, February 2nd 2026 Computers Running Windows 10 Aren't Safe, But Windows 11 Pro Is Only $13 Right Now (Reg. $199) Deal by btarunr Today, 16:14 Microsoft ended support for Windows 10 last year, and if your computer is still running it, then your data is at risk. If you want an easy way to upgrade, right now, you can get Windows 11 Pro on sale for only $12.97 (reg. $199). Windows 11 Pro adds security tools that help protect your files and accounts in ways Windows 10 simply doesn't. BitLocker can encrypt your drive so someone who gets your laptop can't just pull the data off it. Smart App Control can block unknown or suspicious programs before they run, which is helpful if you download software from different places. Windows Defender works in the background to scan for threats without a separate antivirus subscription. There are also changes that make it easier to work on a crowded desktop. Snap layouts let you click a layout and drop apps into neat side-by-side or grid views instead of dragging windows around. Virtual desktops help you keep work, personal tasks, and side projects in separate spaces on the same computer. When you plug back into a monitor or dock, Windows 11 Pro does a better job of putting windows back where they were instead of stacking them on one screen. Right now, it's only $12.97 to get Windows 11 Pro, but it won't stay that way. If you use your PC for work, Windows 11 Pro has a few bonus features. Remote Desktop lets you connect back to your main machine when you're away. Windows Sandbox gives you a temporary test environment for apps and files that disappears when you close it. BitLocker and other controls can also help you line up with basic company security policies if you use the same device for work and home. You also get newer tools on top of the core system. Teams is built in for quick calls and meetings. Widgets give you a small panel for things like weather, calendar, and news. Copilot lives on the taskbar and can handle small tasks that usually break your focus, like changing a setting, summarizing a page, or drafting a short email. Right now, it's only $12.97 to get Windows 11 Pro, but it won't stay that way.
