Microsoft finally has an alternative to subscriptions

TL;DR: Get Windows 11 Pro and a lifetime license for Microsoft Office on sale for just $54.97 while you can.

Heads up: you don’t actually have to pay a subscription if you need Microsoft apps like Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. And you especially don’t need to pay full price to upgrade your operating system, even if Microsoft is about to phase out Windows 10.

Instead, you can replace Microsoft 365 with a Microsoft Office lifetime license and get Windows 11 Pro bundled together for $54.97 (reg. $418). This deal won’t last much longer, though.

Microsoft Office AND Windows 11 Pro

This is a two-part deal, and it really just does what it says on the tin.

The Microsoft Office lifetime license doesn’t have any hidden or recurring costs. You can install the full suite of apps on one Windows computer one time, so don’t load them up on a PC you’re about to dropkick into a landfill. This license comes with

• Word
• Excel
• PowerPoint
• Outlook
• Teams
• OneNote
• Publisher
• Access

If you’re used to Microsoft 365, these apps will look a little different because they’re a little older, but they still work great.

The other half of the bundle is Windows 11 Pro. If you were hesitant to upgrade away from Windows 10, 11 Pro might put those worries to rest because it’s a big improvement. It gives you access to snap layouts for multitasking and enterprise grade security like TPM 2.0 and BitLocker device encryption. You’ll also get professional features like Hyper V virtual machines, Windows Sandbox, and Azure AD support.
