Get Windows 11 Pro For Only $10 For A Limited Time With Exclusive Promo Code
GameSpot readers who are building a new gaming PC should check out this Windows 11 deal before it expires March 12
Microsoft introduced Windows 11 four years ago, so many PC owners have moved on from its predecessor. A big chunk of gamers, however, have stuck with Windows 10. A recent Valve survey showed that nearly half of all Steam users are gaming on Windows 10, which Microsoft will stop supporting this October.
If you're ready to make the leap to Windows 11 and are building a new PC, we've listed some of the key features included with the Pro license below.
Windows 11 Pro features
- Enhanced security features
- Custom layouts
- BitLocker device encryption
- Device encryption
- Find my device
- Firewall & network protection
- Internet protection
- Parental controls & protection
- Secure boot
- Windows Hello
- Windows Information Protection (WIP)
- Windows Security
Important: Windows 11 Pro licenses purchased from StackSocial must be redeemed within 30 days. Codes that haven't been activated within the redemption window can be returned for store credit. One license key can be activated on two devices.
See at StackSocialBefore upgrading to Windows 11, make sure your computer has enough storage space for the install. Microsoft's minimum requirement is 64GB, though the actual install size is closer to 30GB. Existing Windows 10 users can upgrade to Windows 11 for free, but if you want the Pro version on your old computer, it's worth noting that you need to be on Windows 10 to install the new OS. In addition to the storage requirement, Windows 11 requires a 1GHz or faster CPU and 4GB RAM. If you need help verifying your computer's eligibility for Windows 11, check out Microsoft's support page for instructions.
