While Apple’s Silicon is incredibly efficient, it hasn’t reached the point where its speed surpasses that of a high-end gaming PC. That, and your Mac’s lack of game compatibility is likely why you use a PC to game. However, if you haven’t upgraded your device’s operating system in a while, you might be doing a disservice to your gaming.

Just update to Windows 11 Pro, which comes with DirectX 12 Ultimate for enhanced gaming and plenty of other innovations. Ahead of Black Friday, lifetime access is available for $19.97 (reg. $199).

Whether you’re a fan of Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree or Dragon’s Dogma 2, you’ll love Windows 11 Pro’s gaming enhancements. DirectX 12 Ultimate is one of many standout features and is designed to boost gaming graphics and maximize your PC’s hardware so you enjoy a more immersive gaming experience.

Once you outfit your PC with Windows 11 Pro, you might want to use it for more than gaming, especially since it comes with a new AI-powered assistant, Copilot. It’s powered by a custom version of GPT-4 to assist with writing, image generation, studying, and can even change your system’s settings for you.

Security features like TPM 2.0, Smart App Control, biometrics login, and other antivirus defenses are also included in this OS to keep your personal data and device protected from bad actors.

Give your PC a gamer-friendly makeover with this early Black Friday deal: this $19.97 lifetime license for Windows 11 Pro, now available until December 1 at 11:59 PM Pacific!
