The Department of Education (DepEd) announced an early Christmas gift for public school learners on Friday, December 24. Students can enjoy a free download of Microsoft Windows 11 Operating System (OS) using their DepEd learner accounts.
We recognize the need for accessible OS as we adopted blending learning in the past two years. This collaboration with Microsoft Philippines will help our learners and their families in discovering more opportunities in ICT since they have a safe and legitimate OS for their gadgets,
Education Secretary Leonor Magtolis Briones said.

In partnership with Microsoft Philippines, the initiative was organized by the Office of the Undersecretary for Administration (OUA) through the Information and Communications Technology Service (ICTS).
The students can access the free Windows OS through the following steps:
1. Log in to your DepEd Microsoft accounts and search for their region’s webstore.
(Each region has its corresponding link.)
2. Upon accessing the regional webstore, select Windows 11 for download. (Windows 10 is also available for those who will not meet the system specifications needed to install Windows 11.)
3. Select the operating system and click the ‘add to cart’ button.
4. Proceed to checkout. Follow the instructions after the checkout button until the product key appears.
5. Click the link below the product key to start the installation.
I’d like to commend Microsoft for its support in transforming basic education in the Philippines. This initiative is a huge step in DepEd’s commitment to equip our learners with up-to-date technology that can help support blended learning and also hone their interests and skills,
Undersecretary for Administration Alain Del Pascua said
Meanwhile, a free Windows OS download for teachers will be coming soon and will be announced through a separate memorandum.
