But they want to know where I work.  I'm not trying to install Java 11 on a work computer.  I'm trying to install Java 11 on my home computer.  What do I tell them when they ask me where I'm working?


Is there a particular reason you want Oracle's Java instead of OpenJDK?  OpenJDK is the same software under a different (free) license and you can get it from a lot of places, including directly from Microsoft:
