Pc in question is a part of a 3000kg CNC machine. Yes, it can be removed from it, but it’s not a fun process.

I’m frustrated because this is a requirement only because Microsoft wants people to use their cloud services which I will never use

1. Because I shouldn’t have to. It’s purely Microsoft forcing it.
2. I only have 1 PC in my workshop, but there are companies in the same situation which have dozens.

Because I don’t need an internet connection in the workshop. I don’t want to install a bridge just to activate windows.

I live in the middle of nowhere and while my home has 10/1 Mbit DSL option my workshop 250m away has nothing and no mobile signal. Am I supposed to drag PC used for CNC home to activate windows or should I get 2nd starlink subscription?
