A new Insider Preview of Windows 11 tells us that the operating system could ask you for your credit card for a very specific section, and it is important to detail why it can ask you for this information and whether or not it is safe to offer this information to Windows 11.
The Insider Previews offer news in tests to users who later end up reaching the stable version of Windows 11, that is why there are certain types of people who install these preliminary versions to have all the news before anyone else.
In the latest release, which is Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 22567 , there are many very different new features, for example, ecological features that will allow you to save electricity when updating Windows or others related to ecology.
Another of them is one that can be scary at first, Windows 11 would ask you for your credit card information, but not for what you are thinking, you will not have to pay to use Windows 11 because it is a free upgrade if you come from Windows 10, but it will be used for something else.
Centralize payments of your subscriptions
The ultimate goal pursued by Microsoft is to have a centralized way of making payments for active subscriptions to company services, such as the Office or Game Pass subscription, using your Microsoft account from the Accounts section of Settings.
It will only be used for that purpose and payments would be made securely , so there should be no security issue with putting credit card details into Windows 11 to centralize payments for your various subscriptions, it will be safe.
In this way, you could make the payment directly from that section of the Configuration and receive notifications of possible errors with the card , for example, some incorrect information, the future expiration of this, etc. In addition, it is a way that you do not have to access their websites.
By managing subscriptions directly from Windows 11 with this novelty, the user will not need to go to the Office website to renew the subscription, the same would happen with Game Pass and others, so all procedures are simplified.
This is an attractive novelty that probably has its detractors, many users are reluctant to offer their credit card information just like that, but it seems that there will be no problem in Windows 11 .
