Even though Microsoft has released Windows 11, and Windows 10 users can update it for free, the number of Windows 10 users is still more than Windows 11.
So, to overcome this, Microsoft will stop selling Windows 10 licenses through its official website. On its official product page, Microsoft ensures that license sales for Windows 10 Home, Pro and Workstation will be stopped.
Apart from that, it is also written that January 31, 2023 is the last day for consumers who want to download the operating system from the Microsoft site. Even so, Microsoft ensures that Windows 10 will continue to receive security update support until October 14, 2025.
So, if you want to buy and download Windows 10 from Microsoft's site, you have less than two weeks left right now. For information, the price for Windows 10 Home is USD 139, Windows 10 Pro is USD 199, and Windows 10 Pro for Workstations is USD 309.
Keep in mind, this sales stop applies to Windows 10 purchased directly through Microsoft's site for consumers. Meanwhile, OEMs, such as laptop manufacturers, can still purchase Windows 10 licenses.
Apart from that, there are also third-party retailers that sell licenses and copies of Windows 10, either physically or which you have to download yourself. Not to mention the many sites that sell Windows 10 keys at very low prices. Oh yes, the Media Creation Tool for Windows 10 installation is still available.
Since its initial release, Windows 11 has received "resistance" from users, because of the high minimum requirements, as well as the mandatory TPM 2.0 support to be able to install Microsoft's newest OS.
Even in the latest Steam survey, only three out of 10 survey participants use Windows 11, we were quoted as saying from Techspot, Friday (20/1/2023).
