Do you want a new computer with W11?  It used to be possible to install 
W11 without a Microsoft Account (MSA) but it has become increasingly 
difficult to do so - follow recent discussions in this newsgroup.  You 
may find that you have to set up the new machine using a MSA then create 
a "Local Admin" account; after which you can remove the MSA login.

Or do you want to upgrade your existing W10 computer to W11?  M$ will 
probably offer this to you automatically - perhaps without you actually 
realising it - provided that the W10 machine meets the hardware 
requirements.  In this case all your existing installed software will 
probably continue to work.
