    And that is why you dont save the key in your Microsoft account but local only instead.

        Sure if that is a option. I am a fan of Linux too but unfortunately not everyone is ready for it. Specially corporate systems are not due to AD. In those cases where you need windows. Store the key locally.

            Yes but many professionals can’t because their work requires it.
