Hello everyone,
I'm currently using Win10Pro that was installed using rufus that bypasses the need for an online account.
Currently windows is asking to me upgrade to win11. My question is, if i do install can I still use it with an offline account? Do I need a microsoft account now? A bitlocker? Would the upgrading process encrypt my drives locking me out?
