Did you know that we have a software store? Yeah, us, PCWorld. We pick some of the best software available in the Windows world, get fantastic prices from the vendors, and pass them on to you. Those deals include Windows itself, believe it or not, and right now you can get a 100 percent authentic Windows license from the PCWorld Software Store for just $59.99. This single-use license is the perfect finishing touch on your holiday desktop build. And as a special promotion for the holidays, we’re throwing in Laplink PCmover and O&O SafeErase 18 for free.

Laplink PCmover Express 11 is a tool for moving all of your old files, folders, user info, and Windows settings to a new PC in just a few minutes. You can make the transfer over a network, a USB drive, or even a direct USB connection. (Or if you’re coming from something really old, burn a CD or DVD.) The step-by-step process will save you hours versus manually moving everything over yourself.

When you’re done, use O&O SafeErase 18 Professional to completely wipe the drive of your old PC, securely and permanently destroying any leftover personal data, making it ready for reselling or recycling.

A Windows 11 Home license sells for $139 from Microsoft, and both PCmover and SafeErase are $29.95, so that $59.99 bundle saves you $140 off the retail price! If you need an upgrade to Windows 11 Pro, we’ve got you covered there too: the Pro bundle is just $79.99. This bundle deal expires on January 1, so don’t miss out!
