Here is an inexpensive way to upgrade your Windows OS. I’ve seen it mentioned here before, mostly related to using the YDS diagnostic tool, that people have an older version of Windows causing them difficulties. I can’t vouch for this company or using these codes as I have Macs. This article does walk you through the process. Hope this is helpful to those who need it.

With the windows activation process, I would be leary about buying a CD-key for an OS. Especially for 10% of the actual price. Also keep in mind, that if a computer has an os less than 10 right now, it may not even be able to run Windows 11. It may go to 10, but not 11. I have an old HP Touchsmart laying around that will not take it.

Good luck

PS: I'm not the software police, but I am a MS FTE

What is a MS FTE? That sounds intimidating.

Honestly, discounted OS and Office software is out there. But buy it from a reputable company. Woot is a clearinghouse for Amazon. And reputable dealers. I would not shy away from buying here if I needed legit software.

Haven't used CDKeysales but Keysoff is a reputable seller, use their easily searched coupon codes for similar savings on Office 2021 Pro Plus and WIn 10/11 and have no worries about activation no matter what any MS lackey would have you believe.
