After a recent Windows update a blue screen came up that allowed you to change some settings such as making Edge the default browser and connecting your phone to your PC.

 

The next screen gave an offer of 50% off Microsoft365 for 1 year.  I skipped it at the time but now I'm interested.  Does anyone know if it's possible to bring that up again somehow?

Its not 50% off but if you look in the Windows Store app on Windows 10 then look up Microsoft 365 you'll see the Family version available for $115.50

Can't answer your query, but the retailers like PBTech sell it at a discount. MS direct offer a free month on their NZ website for the family version if you want to try it. Compare All Microsoft 365 Plans (Formerly Office 365) – Microsoft Store I use the family version and think it's reasonable value. I do have a love/hate relationship with Outlook though 😀





Nokia 6110, 6210, 6234, Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1, Huawei Ideos X5 (Windows Mobile), Samsung Galaxy SIII, LG G4, OnePlus 5, iPhone Xs Max (briefly), S21 Ultra. And I thought I hadn't had many phones - but the first one around 1997.

Opps double post for some reason!

Interesting, when I do that the price is $165. Perhaps that's because I already have a subscription? It doesn't make any difference if I log out though.

Managed to chat with a Microsoft rep. They advised that that promotion is targeted towards those who have bought a new PC or have upgraded  (the Windows update must have made it appear that way?)

 

They said that by skipping the offer at the time the offer is rejected and there is no way to get it back.
