Windows 11 Pro Is Just $9.97 for Black Friday (MSRP $199)

Macworld

TL;DR: This Black Friday deal drops Windows 11 Pro to $9.97.

Black Friday always brings big hardware discounts, but one of the most practical upgrades this year is actually software. For $9.97, you can grab a genuine Windows 11 Pro license, normally $199, and use it to modernize a PC or run Windows directly on a Mac.

Why Mac users want this

If you are on an older or sluggish PC, upgrading to Windows 11 Pro can give you faster boot times, stronger security, smoother multitasking, and support for modern apps and workflows. It is an easy way to squeeze more life out of hardware you already own.

If you are a Mac user, this also gives you the flexibility to run Windows through:

Boot Camp (Intel Macs)

Parallels Desktop or other virtualization tools (Intel or Apple Silicon)

That means you can access Windows-only software, games, work applications, or school tools without buying a separate machine. There is also a timing angle worth noting. Microsoft ended support for Windows 10 on October 14, 2025, which means no more security patches or updates. Upgrading now helps you stay secure and compatible with newer features.

Windows 11 Pro brings performance upgrades that gamers and power users appreciate

DirectX 12 Ultimate for ray tracing and higher frame rates

Auto HDR for richer color on supported displays

DirectStorage support for dramatically faster load times with compatible drives

You will also get a cleaner layout, improved window management, and snappier everyday performance, even on older hardware.Get Windows 11 Pro for $9.97 while the Black Friday deal is still running.
