Question Last day to buy Windows 10 is January 31, 2023

[KublaiKhan]

I imagine I was the last to learn this, but tomorrow is the last day Microsoft will offer Windows 10 for sale.

I have an older PC I cannot upgrade to Windows 11. Windows 10 should get me through the next couple years.

Be aware that you may not be able to purchase a Windows 10 key from Microsoft without signing in to your Outlook or Microsoft account—which are effectively the same thing, I imagine. I should have picked up a USB stick from Micro Center when I had the chance!

Hope this helps at least one person!

Also, if your system is currently running Win 7/8/8.1, upgrading to Win 10 is free.
Nothing to buy.

In my case, upgrading to Windows 10 Home would be free. I want a fresh installation of the Pro version. Probably changing my boot drive, as well.
