   "2. BitLocker recovery key   
      
   Starting with the release of version 24H2, Windows 11 turns on   
   BitLocker automatically on new installations.   
      
   Although drive encryption is essential for protecting your data, many   
   users get stuck during startup when an issue occurs, unaware that a   
   recovery key is required to unlock the device. But the biggest problem   
   is that they don't know where they can retrieve the key.   
      
   Fortunately, if you have configured the operating system with a   
   Microsoft account, Windows 11 backs up the recovery key automatically   
   in your online account. For this reason, it's important to know how to   
   retrieve the recovery key before it's too late.   
      
   To find your BitLocker recovery key, use these steps:"
