Were you able to unlock It? It seems it's getting more and more complicated (I own a Xiaomi phone, too, a Poco F6)

Yeah, it needs an xiaomi account with unlocking privileges (I have one from 2018, so this step was already done) and a Windows partition with the xiaomi bootloader unlocker (the official one, updated to the last version), then putting a SIM card into the phone, putting the same account on the phone, going to the bootloader unlocker, checking all the boxes and then just waiting for the time it says on the unlocker to unlock the phone, with the SIM card and not changing the account on the phone.

I just added a Windows 10 IoT LTSC partition to do that :/, then deleted it afterwards.
