dsolve([y(x)=x*diff(y(x),x)+diff(y(x),x)^2,y(1) = -1],y(x), singsol=all)
 

\begin{align*} y \left (x \right ) &= -\frac {1}{2}+\frac {i \left (-1+x \right ) \sqrt {3}}{2}-\frac {x}{2} \\ y \left (x \right ) &= \frac {\left (1+i \sqrt {3}\right ) \left (i \sqrt {3}-2 x +1\right )}{4} \\ y \left (x \right ) &= \frac {\left (i \sqrt {3}-1\right ) \left (i \sqrt {3}+2 x -1\right )}{4} \\ \end{align*}
