All of my desktops and laptops all run Professional, in fact I don’t think I’ve ever had a device with any version of Windows Home installed.

I did some reading, if you setup a Microsoft Account during the setup process then it will encrypt your hard disk and use your online account to store recovery keys should the worst happen.
With my installs I declined using a Microsoft Account and use a local, in that case it won’t as there is nowhere safe to store the recovery keys.
