I poked around a bit. You will have to make an account with Microsoft and sign in when you are using your PC, can't be opted out of. That means that they will have visibility into what you do.
"When installing Windows 11 Home on a new PC, Microsoft's website states you'll need to have an internet connection and a Microsoft account to complete the setup. There won't be an option for a local account." Big fucking Brother! I just bought this PC, and W10 loses support in 4 years.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.
I got an invitation to run some sort of program to tell me if I could update to 11. It said "no." Fuck it.

Windows 11 vs. Windows 10: Should you upgrade?.
For many, the difference between Windows 10 and Windows 11 comes down to compatibility. Windows 11 marks the first significant shake-up in supported CPUs since the release of Windows 8.1. If you want the latest OS, you’ll need an Intel Core 8th-gen processor or newer, or an AMD Ryzen 2000 processor or newer. If you have a compatible device, you should upgrade to Windows 11 to give it a try. There’s a catch, though. After you upgrade, you’ll only have 10 days to revert back to Windows 10.

The need to update depends entirely on what you want to do. I try to have a very good machine for daily use, but I stream in the evenings on an old windows 7 machine and see no reason to replace it even though it is not supported anymore. It streams just fine and that is all I ask of it.
I usually update to the newest windows on my good machine - after it has been published long enough to have all the bugs ironed out. Avoids having my machine clogged with a zillion patches.
Nice to gather all that duff up into those big service patches ^ Like SP2 in the XP days.

The requirement to sign in to an MS account will be a deal-breaker for me. I guess I better start learning Linux.
On hiatus.
Windows 11 Home will require an MS account for installation. Pro will not. And that's only for setup. Once installed you can switch to a local account.

I have been playing the delaying game with chromebooks, etc.
I quit doing tech support that required a semi-current winboxen. This makes the move away from Microsoft easy. The subscription model sucks ass.

I wondered about that. Good to know, but this old dog is probably going to learn linux, too. Maybe I'll look into the Pro version, though.

Quote:The Windows 11 upgrade will be delivered to qualifying devices late 2021 into 2022. Timing will vary by device. Certain features require additional hardware see Windows 11 Specifications.

Xbox features on your PC
Windows 11 is bringing some game-friendly features to the PC already available on the company’s Xbox line of game consoles. Features like Auto HDR will bring high dynamic range to PCs with the supported hardware, as well as DirectStorage, which stores data directly on graphics cards for faster access and therefore faster speeds. Paired with GamePass, Xbox’s game subscription service, it could turn your PC into the preferred entertainment device. ---------------------------------------- Apparently it has better support for high-end games.

Add Wine for any Windows apps you can't live without/find replacements for. It's a really low learning curve.
