OMEN by HP 16.1 inch Gaming Laptop PC 16-xd0000 (758R0AV)
Microsoft Windows 11

I created USB boot for Linux Mint. After using Mint I wanted to restart my laptop with Windows 11 OS (disk boot). However it asked for Bitlocker recovery key.  I entered the key and Windows did work fine after that.

 

My question is, why did this happen?
And will it happen again the next time I switch to Linux and back to Windows?
Have I made some error in Linux installation?
