One of the most important parts of setting up a new computer (or computer network deployment) is installing an operating system. Unfortunately, purchasing keys for every computer is usually very expensive. That’s why we offer authentic licenses for several versions of Windows, all at affordable prices. Plus, with a SoftwareCW Plus membership, you can get bulk discounts that make setting up your organization’s computers even easier. Find the license keys you need with SoftwareCW.

  • Shop Operating System Downloads for PCs

    We’re proud to be your source for Microsoft software downloads, and there is no Microsoft product more iconic than Windows. We currently offer three versions:

    Windows 11: This is the latest version of Windows. It comes with a MacOS-like centered app doc at the bottom of the desktop, a simplified and rounder UI, and integration with both Cortana and Bing.

    Windows 10: A straightforward OS reminiscent of Windows 7. Microsoft will continue to provide security updates until October 14, 2025.

    Windows 8.1: A balance between the tablet-inspired UI of Windows 8 with the more traditional layout of Windows 7. Support ended on January 7, 2023.

    These versions can be ordered as either Home or Pro versions. If you just need a Windows operating system download for your home computer, you only need this version. However, if you are setting up computers for your business or organization, the Pro version is better. It boasts increased security features, better remote management software, and more.

  • Find Top Software at Affordable Prices

    Regularly ordering software keys and want to save money? Or maybe you need better management tools for the software you already own? With SoftwareCW Plus, you get both. Enjoy a variety of membership benefits, such as a 25% sitewide discount on all orders, priority support, software backups, and more.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I install an OS by myself?

Yes! Installing an OS is designed to be as easy as possible so that anybody can do it at home. If you need help, you can contact us. Or, if you’re a SoftwareCW Plus member, you can refer to our free guides for help.

How do I download an operating system?

First, you’ll go to the developer’s website. If it’s Windows, you’ll go to Microsoft’s download page for Windows. If it’s LInux, you’ll go to your preferred distribution’s website. You’ll then download either installation media or a .iso file. Use either the official media creation tool for your OS or a program like Rufus to create a bootable USB. You’ll plug that USB into your computer you’re installing the OS onto, boot from the USB, and follow all prompts in the installation wizard. Just make sure to get a valid authentication key from an official software retailer.

Can I download MacOS?

MacOS is exclusively used for Apple devices. It is not officially compatible with non-Apple hardware. Unlike Windows operating system downloads for PCs, MacOS is only downloadable to repair or replace broken existing MacOS installations.
