Hello there,

Here's how you can find your encryption settings and recovery key – pretty easy stuff!

First, hit the Start button and head into Settings.

Then, find Privacy & Security.

Next, click on Device Encryption. If you spot BitLocker settings, click that. If you don't see BitLocker, no worries, your device probably just uses the standard encryption that comes with it.

If you want to mess with the advanced settings, go to Control Panel and then BitLocker Drive Encryption.

To get your recovery key, here's what to do:

Go to account.microsoft.com/devices/recoverykey and sign in to your Microsoft account.

If your work or school manages your device, check Azure AD or ask your IT people.

Hope it helps,
