previously my windows 10 was automatically upgraded to windows 11 but due to some issues I had to downgrade to windows 10 again, I just installed fresh windows 10 on my Dell laptop and after installation I noticed my D drive which contains my important research files was locked with Bitlocker which need a 48-digit recovery key. I searched it everywhere and I didn't find key even on my Microsoft account. I am so frustrated as all of my hardwork is on stake which I dont want to loose. Please I want to ask Microsoft that help me in this regard.
Bitlocker Key
I have a hp laptop running windows 11. It is asking for my bitlocker key. I have checked my Microsoft account and no keys are saved there. I h@ve tried all of the options the computer gives me but nothing works. I simply don’t have the key and don’t know where to find it or how to retrieve it. Please help.
