Question

I need my recovery key but I do not have one associated to my microsoft account

Answer 1

If you are locked out of your PC by a blue screen asking for a Bitlocker Recovery Key, your drive is encrypted with Bitlocker, the only place the Bitlocker Recovery key is automatically stored is on the associated Microsoft account on the link below, be sure to check any Microsoft account that may have been used on the PC and also any work or school account that may be linked to the PC.

(Note, even if your device does not show on the Microsoft account, the Bitlocker Recovery Key may still be available on this link)

https://account.microsoft.com/devices/recoverykey

Are you able to find the Bitlocker Recovery Key on any account that may have been used or linked to the PC?

If not, do you have a safe backup of your files, or use a cloud service like OneDrive to sync your files online.
