Why spend hundreds on new hardware when one of the cheapest, most powerful PC upgrades of the year costs less than a pizza delivery? During Labor Day weekend, a Windows 11 Pro license is on sale for $12.97 (MSRP $199). It includes upgrades for productivity, security, and perhaps most notably, gaming.
DirectX 12 Ultimate, which comes baked into Windows 11 Pro, delivers ray-tracing and higher frame rates that can keep up with the newest AAA titles. You’ll also unlock Auto HDR, which adds enhanced color and contrast. Even older games that were never built to support it can benefit. Another cool feature is DirectStorage (when paired with compatible hardware) for near-instant asset loading in expansive open-world games.
And don’t underestimate the small boosts. Load times are noticeably faster. Game switching is smoother. Windows 11 Pro is streamlined to work with your PC, not against it—so your setup finally runs like the beast it was meant to be.
During Labor Day weekend, you can upgrade to Windows 11 Pro for just $12.97 (MSRP $199). No coupon is needed.
