I noticed though that this product isn't manufactured by Microsoft, it's supposedly licensed to a company named Univolo. But I am hesitant because they are selling this copy at a lower price. I want something physical that I can install without the need of an internet connection and this seems sketchy.
I want the Bitlocker and encryption and that is the main reason why I am switching from Home to Pro.
I didn't see the USB bubble there on the Microsoft page, so I guess that ends this topic. You'd be pretty dumb to get a discounted third party version over the actual official version, even if it saves you money. Fact is, this ISO courtesy download 21H2 can only do so much if your system is corrupted. You'll need a full clean install and most laptops these days dont have disc trays in them.
