TL;DR: $61 a year, more than half the cost of a “lifetime” Windows Home license.

But no one is buying this because they can’t afford windows 11 or something.
This is for businesses that have trouble with updating or have older hardware that they want to use.
No one is buying this for Windows 10 home.

No one is buying because it requires certain hardware features that only recent computers have.
Even my 2019 laptop isn’t eligible for the free upgrade without some hack to install.

Honestly it doesn’t matter because pretty much no consumers are going to buy this no matter the price.
99,99% of Windows users won’t even install security updates unless Microsoft forces them to.
