How to get a recovery key

1 REPLY 1
HP Recommended

@DonTacha 

 

Welcome to the HP English Community --

 

Good Question -

Recovery keys must be saved before they are needed --

Once saved, you can usually retrieve your key in your Microsoft Account.

 

No saved key = No key recovery "after the fact"

That means,

You cannot retrieve a key that was not saved when you had access to the setup.

Security - Read

HP PCs - Using BitLocker and finding the recovery key (Windows 11, 10)

Device Encryption prevents unauthorized individuals from accessing your device and data.

 

Your computer might support BitLocker Drive Encryption (in English) or Device Encryption (in English). You can verify whether your device supports standard BitLocker encryption or Device Encryption.

 

Section: Enable BitLocker Drive Encryption or Device Encryption

 

Back up your Key –

Sub-Section:  Enable BitLocker Drive Encryption

 

 

Be sure to save your recovery key, because it might be required after certain actions, such as a BIOS update. There are multiple ways to attempt to retrieve your recovery key, if necessary.

 

Note:

BitLocker Drive Encryption is not available on devices running the Windows 11 and Windows 10 Home operating systems.
