My Win 11 Home laptop showed the drive was encrypted when I opened Disk Management. I assumed it meant Bitlocker but my research seemed to indicate that since I had Window 11 Home it was Device Encryption by default, which is apparently different than Bitlocker.
I read that you should always have a saved copy of your Recovery Key when you use encryption. It is supposed to be available in your microsoft account by going to http://account.microsoft.com/devices/recoverykey. But going to this link told me I did not have a Recovery Key stored there.
I set the computer up for sign in with a local account only, that may be why the key is not in my MS account.
Does anyone know how to find the recovery key in a case like this?
Thanks
