It’s taken literally years, but Windows 11 is officially “all right.” And since it won’t be too long before most people stop getting updates to Windows 10, it’s probably time for even the holdouts to upgrade to the latest version. (Either that or try Linux, I guess.) But today Woot is making it incredibly easy on your wallet, with a genuine Windows 11 redemption code for just 20 bucks.
Technically you could get Windows 11 Home for $17.99, but since you’re already saving more than $120 off the retail version of the operating system, why not throw a couple more dollars in and get extras like Microsoft Remote Desktop, BitLocker, and Hyper-V and virtual machine support?
Woot is an official subsidy of Amazon and is selling the codes directly, so you know this is a legit deal. Weirdly it might take a couple of days to get the email with your Microsoft redemption code, though.
Don’t worry: if you have a PC building project that needs Windows right away, you can download the installation media from Microsoft, install the OS now, and redeem the code later. Unlike some of Woot’s other sales, this isn’t limited to one day — the page says you have two weeks or until the stock runs out.
