The Windows account won't even matter and expect them to backtrack from the requirement to make morons think they are "winning" something. They track you at a hardware level with TPM 2.0 now. They tried a requirement with Windows 8 but security officers around the world called it out. Now those people have been replaced and the media more consolidated.
"Authorities at Germany's Federal Office for Information Security (BSI)...A machine that contains a Trusted Platform Module and runs software adhering to the Trusted Computing specifications is, arguably, under the control of the vendor – in this case Microsoft. It also identifies the machine to the vendor, meaning that users' identities can be linked to their machines as well as their online activities. As Redmond is a US firm, opponents to the protocols argue, users' data is theoretically accessible to US spooks in the National Security Agency via the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act" https://archive.ph/yTb0E
