Just checking to confirm. You're using Windows 10 Home with a local account, and you're wondering if signing in via your Microsoft account will prevent Windows from reporting an invalid license. Also, you're planning to upgrade to Windows 11 but your Gigabyte board lacks a TPM module—does that affect the upgrade process?
It should work fine. In the 8th generation, the TPM is probably integrated into the processor and you just need to turn it on in the BIOS. You won't have to purchase a separate TPM.
Check the UEFI for Intel PTT or Intel Platform Trusted Technology, which is Intel firmware TPM. You don't require a dedicated TPM chip.
