Users can now buy a Windows 11 license and download it directly from the website of Microsoft. The company has confirmed that users need not upgrade from Windows 10 version.
The change appears to have occurred at some point in May 2022, according to PCMag. However, the lack of any press release or communication from Microsoft meant this change slipped through the internet.
For many PC users, Windows 11 will already be installed or will be available as an upgrade for their existing machines, and it has been since its launch in October 2021. Still, DIY PC builders had to download a version of Windows 10 before upgrading from within that OS.
How To Download Windows 11 License From Microsoft?
A Windows 11 Home download can be added to an online cart and purchased for $139 (£119.99), which represents no price increase over the equivalent Home version of Windows 10.
In the beginning, there appears to be no Pro version of the operating system. However, this is found on another page on the website of Microsoft. Windows 11 Pro is available for $199.99 (£219.99), the same as the price of Windows 10 Pro.
The ability to buy a Windows 11 license should save the time of PC builders, who will no longer need to get it via the previous OS. Some of the key requirements for DIYers to install Windows 11 are a processing speed of at least 1GHz, 64GB of storage, 4GB of RAM, and a minimum nine-inch 720p display.
Windows 11 update 22H2 also gives it greater control over security measures and offers more protection against malware.
