Anyone who has still not switched to Windows 10 should definitely do so now, also considering that Windows 7 and 8.1 will soon be a thing of the past.
Windows 10 can significantly increase productivity, especially now that many are working from home and the children have also been homeschooling for a while. So if you want to buy the new update, you have various options, which can quickly confuse many users.
WINDOWS 10 FREE
If you still have an old version of Windows, you could download the new version free of charge for a year. So all PC owners should be able to update their hardware to the latest and most secure version without paying anything for it. Contrary to what Windows says, this upgrade still works today for all Windows 7 and 8.1 operating systems.
Alternatively, there is also the option of getting a new computer and getting the new Windows update “for free”, so to speak. Pupils and students also have the opportunity to get the new version for free, since Microsoft for its part puts a lot of resources into sponsoring universities and schools and Windows 10 is ultimately free within the cooperation. In terms of scope, Windows Education is comparable to Windows 10 Enterprise used in companies.
BUY WINDOWS 10 WORRY-FREE
If a new update is due, Windows users will be informed in a friendly manner on their desktop and then taken directly to Microsoft. The price for Windows 10 Pro is currently 259 euros, for Windows 10 Home “only” 145 euros are due. In addition, Microsoft refers to new devices that already contain Windows 10 Home or Pro. These operating systems can also be bought at Saturn or Media Markt.
There are sometimes promotions where the packages can be purchased a little cheaper. “From a financing sum of 100 €, buyers are granted 0% financing, but it must be ensured that a creditworthiness check must also be made with SCHUFA. At the same time, you receive a CashCard from Commerz Finanz Bank, which ultimately incurs high-interest rates when you use it. So it is better to send the card back,” explains an expert from Fitformoney.de magazine.
CHECK CHEAP OFFERS CAREFULLY
However, the prices mentioned are perceived as very expensive, and licenses and keys can also be purchased from other dealers for a little less money. Windows 10 Professional activation keys can be purchased from Amazon for a few euros, and this is also possible on eBay and other websites. Here, however, you have to keep a close eye on the respective offer, there are many rip-offs who advertise with illegal keys or offer used offers without a certificate of authenticity. However, this COA is essential because it allows Windows Support to prove at any time that the license was legally acquired.
Furthermore, it may be that cheap keys are ultimately older operating systems such as 7 or 8.1. After installation, you can still switch to 10 for free, but only if the code has not been used before. This can also happen with such cheap offers. It is also not known how long Windows will continue to offer the update free of charge. In addition, make sure that the 64-bit version is used so that all apps and programs can be installed and used correctly.
