Although more than eight months have passed since the release of Windows 11, Microsoft has not sold digital licenses to install this version of the operating system. Users can either buy a bundled version of the operating system or get a system with a new PC or upgrade from Widnwos 10. Now it has come to light that users can buy digital licenses to install Windows 11 Pro and 11 Home on their PCs .
The official release of the Windows 11 software platform took place on October 5, 2021. Although a lot of time has passed since then, ordinary users could not purchase a digital license to install the OS on their home computers. Instead, they had to install Windows 10 and upgrade to Windows 11; provided the computer they are using meets the minimum requirements to install the OS.
Microsoft now sells Windows 11 licenses directly
Now on the Microsoft website there is sections to purchase Windows 11 Pro and Windows 11 Home. At the same time, the software giant did not make any official statements on this issue. The source notes that apparently; pages to purchase a Win 11 digital activation key appeared in May of this year; although no one reported this until recently.
So anyone can buy Win 11 Home for $139 or Win 11 Pro for $200. Of course, manufacturers are interested in end users buying new computers rather than updating the operating system of existing devices. However, in certain situations, the option to purchase a license to install Windows 11 directly can be very popular.
According to some recent reports, Microsoft is changing its strategy for releasing new Windows versions and updates. The new version of the operating system will not be launched every year; as decided last year, but once every three years. Thus, the next major update of the operating system will take place in 2024 – three years after the release of Win 11 in 2021. Some resources have already rushed to say that this update will be Windows 12.
