Microsoft raises the price of Windows 10 Home: perhaps now it is more interesting to make the leap to the Pro version

Today it is not normal for a user to get a copy of Windows 10 to install on her computer. Neither Windows nor other versions, or at least I have not met any. The reason is that almost all PCs purchased already have it loaded from the factory thanks to the manufacturers, traditional _partners_ of Microsoft. Another reason is that illegal downloads are there and always have been.

For these reasons, many are unaware of the price of a normally purchased Windows license and therefore we have not realized the rise that Microsoft has given to Windows 10 Home.A version that now costs 145 euros in the Microsoft Spain Store

A raise of 10 euros

It is not known when Microsoft has raised the price and if it has been in force for more or less weeks, but we do know that the price has increased by 10 eurosUntil not long ago getting a Windows 10 Home license cost 135 euros, while now, in the company's official store, it costs 145 euros.

For its part, Windows 10 Pro has dropped 20 euros, so that it now costs 259 euros compared to the 279 euros it cost ago little bit. A measure that, together with the rise of Windows 10 Home, can seek to give users a push to jump from the cheapest version to the most expensive and therefore more complete.

However, if the rise seems steep, we can always pull from third-party vendors who offer Windows 10 Home at a lower price, always being careful with the licenses we acquire.

And the thing is that we can find keys for just over 10 euros (or even less), keys that work and allow you to activate Windows 10 , which as a general rule are of dubious origin and legality. These usually come from stolen keys, fraudulently purchased or, most commonly, the same key sold to hundreds of users. Round business that can be expensive if Microsoft detects and blocks those licenses.

But if we search in traditional _online_ commerce, in some we already find the increase applied, as is the case of Amazon, where It has a price of 148 euros. In MadiaMarkt it has a price of 162 euros and in FNAC, to mention three of the most popular chains, it remains at 143 euros.
