I used a personal laptop at a company for a while and the laptop was joined to their domain. I have since left the company and the laptop is home with me. I heavily use the domain profile that was created when I joined their domain and right now it wouldn't be possible to recreate a new profile and migrate my apps to a local profile.

whats the consequences of not ever leaving the domain? Will there come a time when I will be unable to log in again? Can I convert this this domain profile to a local profile?

When you log on away from the domain you are using cached credentials. There is no timeout for these credentials so you should be fine.

Bear in mind though... If your laptop goes kaput and needs its OS rebulding, you could struggle. To counter this, you'll need a bare-metal backup (a full disk image), or take the preventative measures you mentioned in your post.

The profile is linked to your domain user account and will be working on a local copy. It can often be exported to be accessed by others, but I'm not sure if it would really work in this case.
