An Advisory Regarding BitLocker Data Encryption and The Importance of The Data Recovery Key

BitLocker is a data encryption feature that is built into Windows 10. It can help protect your data from unauthorized access, even if your device is lost or stolen. BitLocker uses a recovery key to unlock your data in the event that you forget your password or experience other problems with BitLocker. If you do not have a recovery key, you may not be able to access your data if it is encrypted with BitLocker.

Be aware that BitLocker may be enabled by default with a new computer purchase. It is important to remember that BitLocker is only one layer of security. BitLocker encrypts your data at rest, which means that it is still possible for someone with physical access to your device to access your data. If you are concerned about someone gaining physical access to your device, you should also consider using a full disk encryption tool such as BitLocker To Go.
