Whether for work, school or both, Microsoft Office is something just about all of us use. That also goes hand in hand with Microsoft Windows. Just because it’s essential doesn’t mean it’s affordable, though. Getting them directly from Microsoft usually means shelling out hundreds of dollars. Windows 11 Pro will set you back $200 and an Office Pro 2021 license will cost another $440. Thankfully, this deal on StackSocial grants you both of these items for just $45, which is an incredible 89% discount. But the catch is, this offer is expiring soon so don’t wait to act.
Windows 11 Pro has plenty of extra features you don’t get in the standard version, including Microsoft Remote Desktop, BitLocker device encryption, Windows Sandbox, Hyper-V, Azure Active Directory and much more. You’ll receive an activation key that you can use on up to three devices. Just make sure to check the system requirements before you buy, because not every computer can run it.
Hey, did you know? CNET Deals texts are free, easy and save you money.
Office Professional 2021 offers programs like Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Publisher, OneNote and more. A lot of us end up going for a Microsoft 365 subscription access to these, but if you’d rather just pay once, then this is an excellent chance to do so. Note that you’ll be limited to installing Office on just one computer, but you will have access on that computer permanently.
If you don’t need the Office apps in this bundle, you can grab this Windows 11 Pro deal with the operating system upgrade for $10, which is 94% off the list price of $199. Whether you’re going with the Windows deal or the entire bundle, you save a significant amount.
