Using an unlicensed version of Windows can lead to limitations such as restricted features, lack of personalization options, and withheld critical updates. A legitimate Windows 11 license can be purchased from platforms like WDKeys, with prices for Windows 11 Home starting under eight dollars. This license provides access to the full Windows experience, including features like dark mode, customizable wallpapers, and consistent updates. Support for Windows 10 will end in October 2025, and purchasing a Windows key now allows for a free upgrade to Windows 11 if hardware requirements are met. WDKeys offers both Windows 11 Home and Pro at lower prices than Microsoft, and their OEM keys are linked to a single machine for reinstallation. Support is available through email or live chat.

Microsoft's Windows 11 has become the most widely adopted desktop operating system, capturing 52% of the market share, while Windows 10 holds 44.59%. Windows 11 is operational on over 400 million devices, taking two years to reach this milestone compared to one year for Windows 10. The slower adoption of Windows 11 is attributed to its stringent hardware requirements. Microsoft is offering one additional year of security updates for Windows 10 users at no cost, provided they enable Windows Backup and synchronize their Documents folder with OneDrive; otherwise, a fee will be required for updates.

Microsoft is testing a new Xbox app for PC among Xbox Insiders, which will aggregate installed games from various third-party storefronts into a single interface. This feature will debut with the ROG Xbox Ally and Ally X handhelds later this year. The initiative is part of Microsoft's strategy to transition Xbox from a console-centric brand to a service-oriented platform, aligning with the Game Pass initiative for both Xbox and PC users. Microsoft is optimizing Windows 11 for third-party handheld devices instead of developing its own Xbox handheld. While a widespread launch of the aggregated library feature has not been announced, initial rollout with the ROG Ally handhelds is expected during the holiday season, with broader support potentially arriving by the end of this year or in 2026.
