Microsoft Account and Internet Connection Mandatory for Windows 11 Home Setup
Windows 11 Home setup will require you to have a Microsoft account and a working Internet connection handy. "Windows 11 Home edition requires internet connectivity and a Microsoft Account to complete device setup on first use," lists Microsoft as part of the operating system's requirements. In addition, all editions of Windows 11 will require Internet connection to receive updates, and a Microsoft Account for some tasks. "For all Windows 11 editions, internet access is required to perform updates and to download and take advantage of some features. A Microsoft account is required for some features," it adds. The requirement for Internet makes sense as Microsoft will be using Windows Update as the main medium of distributing Windows 11. It will be offered as a free upgrade for existing Windows 10 users.

what is the price difference from 10home to 10pro? in dollars?
i can't comment here on the forum about how much i paid.. that's why i'm asking.. :rolleyes:
do you put a 10$ on it and have your peace of mind with a version (pro) that also has better features.
I have my mother also compulsorily prescribed the pro.
but in reality they don't care how the OS gets on the devices. The main thing is that it arrives on them!they want to preserve/generate sales and market share.
previous operating systems were much more restrictive, even in terms of updates. U had to buy an expensive DVD.
with Windows 10 MS has abandoned this and said we offer it to anyone who has a key until the end of the total life.
And it is virtually thrown behind you in terms of price.
i did both inplace upgrade and clean install of windows 11. we have the 22000.65 right now (summer release). as long your key is stored to the hardware and u are are offline (its hard, ye - i mean VERY offline) the OS will install without any problem.
and you can do what ever u want.
i have a nice program which allows you to block 100% of MS-telemetry aswell with windows internal tools. no witchcraft needed. just brain and a bit [in german we say CHUZPE / in english CHUTZPAH] callousness.
Personally I don't want the same obnoxious security or password/passcode/... hoops to jump through associated with my machines
I believe it to be completely unnecessary for a local devise
I've had issues with ms/hotmail and have been locked out just for going to advanced settings page lol so yeah dealing with that on a machine I built f... that.
I'd use a gmail email as ms account just to piss ms off lol
One more little fyi
Just in a browser just after a few minutes ublock origin blocks 108 items and the count keeps going up lol
If you want this type of stuff on you and machine feel free I believe it's creepy as hell lol
118 blocks just in time it took to type this
I don't do youtube either but yeah it showed approximately 30 blocks
But on the same point as I making with hotmail blocks going to gmail ublock origin only blocks 2 items pretty much the same as here on tpu lol
Seeing googletube is same company I find it pretty interesting difference between youtube and gmail blocks but hotmail/ outlook.com has a crapload more sludge obviously and what I don't want on a computers os and would rather have the sludge on a browser only.
Hate has nothing to do with it.
