All of these subscriptions will work on both Windows 10 and Windows 11. Add to that Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and Microsoft 365 - heck, even Solitaire had a subscription to eliminate ads before it was added to Game Pass.

Both, however, come with subscriptions: optional “professional” content for Clipchamp, and Designer will be part of Microsoft 365. Some of these applications, like Clipchamp and Designer, are Web “apps” specifically designed to run on both Windows 10 and Windows 11. It makes sense, then, that Microsoft would continue doubling down on what makes it money, subscriptions, and make those subscriptions available to as many people as possible.
