Hi @Starr1888 

 

Sorry to say you are in a bad scenario.

 

OEMs have been shipping W11 Home PCs with Drive encryption enabled. You might be able to get the key if your PC is tied to a Microsoft account.

 

Otherwise, you are in trouble if you had not backed up the key. You need this key to unlock the drive.

 

This thread will probably be locked by a Forum moderator.

 

Regards
