You Can Get a Lifetime License for Windows 11 Home for Under $20 Right Now
If you’ve been putting off upgrading your system because of the high cost of a new Windows license, this Microsoft Windows 11 Home deal may be worth your time. StackSocial is offering lifetime access to Windows 11 Home for just $17.97 for a limited time —down from the original price of $199 and much cheaper than the $139 it’s listed for in the Microsoft Store . But before you get too excited, there are a few important things to know. This version is intended for computers that do not yet have a Windows 11 license and that meet all Microsoft system requirements (which are not entirely forgivable). If your current PC is running Windows 10 but wasn’t able to get the free update through Windows Update, chances are it won’t be the version for you either. It’s also not for those using the Pro editions—you can’t use it to downgrade or upgrade to another version.
If your system is tested, Windows 11 Home does come with a number of updates that make everyday use more efficient and, frankly, more pleasant to look at. The redesigned interface is cleaner and easier to navigate, while features like Snap layouts and virtual desktops help organize your workflow. If you’re constantly juggling browser tabs, documents, and random apps all at once, these tools can help reduce the chaos. There’s also Microsoft Teams built right into the taskbar, which is handy if you use it frequently, but not necessarily a game-changer if you’re already tied to Zoom or Slack. On the security front, there’s support for TPM 2.0 and biometric logins – great if you need more than just a password standing between your data and a stranger.
Gamers and creatives will appreciate DirectX 12 Ultimate support, which delivers better graphics if you have the right hardware. This is a one-time activation key for one device, so once you activate it (which you need to do within 30 days), it will live on that machine. In the future you will not have to switch between systems. Also, this license is only for Windows 11 Home and not the Pro version, so if you’re already using Windows 10 Pro, it won’t do you any good. And to be clear, it won’t be updated to include Microsoft Office. It will work great with Office if you already have it, but don’t expect any MSO updates to be included in the box. However, it’s hard to argue with the price of less than twenty dollars for a full license for an OS that typically runs ten times as expensive.
