Bitlocker - no option to save recovery key to Microsoft account - only Azure

Question

Hi!
I have a problem on Windows 11.

My main Windows account is a Microsoft Account but I also have a company account in my Outlook wich Windows recognizes in Settings - Accounts.

I guess that's the couse I don't see the "save recovery key to Microsoft account" option.

Is there a way to force it? I want to save it on my Microsoft Account.

Thanks
Jack

Answer 1

I want you to re-confirm, if you're not on a local account.

Make sure you've verified your Microsoft account.

Hi @Kapil Arya !
THank you for your reply.

I am 100% on Windows Account on my Windows 11 :) Please see screeshot below (in Polish it's called "Konto Microsoft").

I think its because I have 3 company emails in my Outlook and Windows 11 recognizes them as well. Please see sceond screenshot - (in Polish they are called "konto służbowe").
