No modern PC is complete without Office
Support ended for Windows 7 on January 14, 2020 and Office 2010 ends on October 13, 2020. Now is the time to shift to Windows 10 Pro and Office.
Maximize your productivity
Modern devices with Windows 10, Microsoft 365, and the Intel® vPro™ platform enable fast startup, amazing multitasking, and have a long lasting battery to help you stay productive, anytime, anywhere. In fact, a new device with Windows 10, Microsoft 365, and the Intel® vPro™ platform has up to 65% better performance compared to a three-year-old laptop. Plus, devices more than 4 years old are twice as likely to need repairs — costing time and money.
Work the way you want from virtually anywhere
With Microsoft 365 Business Standard,* you get email hosting plus desktop, mobile, and web versions of Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, as well as other tools to help run and grow your business. Apps are always updated, so they’re never outdated.
