New year, same sluggish computer? It doesn’t have to be this way—and you don’t have to spend hundreds on a new machine. That operating system you’ve been holding out on getting, Windows 11, could actually make your computer feel like new again … or closer to it, anyway. Microsoft is ending support for Windows 10 soon, so you should upgrade to Windows 11 to speed up your PC and get all the latest features. During our New Year’s sale, you can get the Pro version for only $20 this week (reg. $199). A new PC for $20? Not quite … but tons of new features If you’ve been holding out on the OS upgrade because you aren’t sure if you’ll like the new look, we get it. It might take a bit of an adjustment, but you’ll warm up to the centered bottom taskbar, rounded app corners, and the new productivity tools like snap layouts and widgets faster than you think. You’ll also unlock the new AI assistant, Windows Copilot. This one is completely unlike Cortana in that it’s actually useful. You can ask it questions, generate images, summarize websites, and change system settings. Since this is the Pro version of Windows 11, you get some features that are not available on the Home version, which is free for some users. BitLocker device encryption locks down your hard drive in case of device theft or loss, Hyper-V allows you to run virtual machines, and Windows Sandbox lets you test apps in a secure environment.
