Hi @Bradbazemore 

 

Welcome to the HP Support Community.

 

Thank you for posting your query.

 

I understand that you would to know where you find the recovery ID. I would request you to please follow the steps below and the link for detailed guidance.

 

Enable BitLocker Drive Encryption

  • BitLocker Drive Encryption can be enabled during your initial computer setup or any time after by signing in with your Microsoft account.
  • Sign in to Windows with an administrator account.
  • In Winows, search for and open Manage BitLocker.
  • Click Turn on BitLocker, and then follow the on-screen instructions.
  • When prompted, select an option to back up your recovery key.
  • Note:
  • You can back up the recovery key later, if necessary. In Windows, search for and open Manage BitLocker, and then select Back up your recovery key.

Selecting an option to backup your recovery key

  • Follow the on-screen instructions for your selected backup method. The options might vary depending on your BitLocker type.
  • Save to your Microsoft account: Save the recovery key to your Microsoft account, to be accessed online.

  • Save to a USB flash drive: Save the recovery key to a removable USB flash drive.
  • Save to a file: Save the recovery key to a .txt file stored on your computer hard drive.
