Your computer is a lot more than the hardware under the covers. Your operating system and your go-to apps define a lot of what you can do daily, but getting the software you need can be expensive.

Ditch the old operating system and skip the subscription payments for software you'll rely on the entire time you have your computer. Instead, you can get Windows 11 Pro and Microsoft Office 2019 bundled for life, and they're only $49.97 through January 21!

Windows 11 Pro isn't compatible with every computer, so make sure yours can run it before attempting to install. Once installed, 11 Pro gives your computer security upgrades like Bitlocker device encryption and support for biometrics login. It also comes with quality-of-life improvements like widgets and snap windows.

Microsoft Office 2019 comes with Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, OneNote, Publisher, and Access. The only thing it's missing is Teams and a subscription fee. Just keep in mind these are the 2019 versions of each app, so they might look a little different!

Don't miss your chance to score Microsoft tools for less.

You have until January 21 at 11:59 p.m. Pacific to get lifetime access to Windows 11 Pro and Microsoft Office 2019 on sale for just $49.97. No coupon needed!
