    Does anyone know how to find the bitlocker recovery key for lenovo windows 10? I know I never set it up as its my personal laptop and for some reason the laptop itself isn't on my microwsoft account even though it should be. I've tried everything but can't seem to find it.

    Recorded BitLocker Key / Swapped Drive / Permanently lost BitLocker Key?

    The gist: Lenovo support recommended a drive swap (from corporate computer with broken screen to temporary one). Initially, the BitLocker key worked and now it fails. IT told me it cannot be salvaged.

    Computers: Corporate Windows Lenovo ThinkPad P15 Gen2's and we use "Intune."

    Steps:

    1. I'm instructed by IT & Lenovo to send my computer in for repairs seemingly unrelated to the hard drive (monitor completely black with power on). Lenovo warns "ANY" repair can destroy all data and recommends a drive swap. Confirm with 3 Lenovo representatives this is okay for relative novice.
    2. Record BitLocker key and perform the swap.
    3. Restart temp computer, input key on blue screen and everything's good but Microsoft Teams.
    4. Repeat step 3.
    5. Restart temp computer, input key on blue screen and Teams works.
    6. Restart temp computer and BitLocker no longer accepts the key.
    7. Lenovo sends back fixed computer. Install original SSD. Screen is fixed, but BitLocker no longer accepts the key.
    8. My Account shows two devices -- with the same name -- associated to me. The "Inactive" one has my recorded key. The "Active" one says, "No BitLocker recovery key found for this device."
    9. IT says BitLocker keys should rotate when doing what I did. Initially, they failed to rotate -- the reason why steps 3 - 5 "worked." Then, the rotation happened -- step 6 -- but the new BitLocker key wasn't saved anywhere. I am currently assuming they would have checked something like the Azure Active Directory.
    10. Part of me doesn't believe the BitLocker key couldn't have been saved anywhere. I know what I did isn't typical for an employee, but still there have to be a lot of drive swaps in the world -- saving BitLocker keys can't be this fragile.
    I know this is long and appreciate any assistance. Have a good year in any event.

    Sincerely,

    Tim

    Hi,

    There are several reasons why your PC is getting a blue screen and was asking you to enter your BitLocker recovery key, such as failed attempts to sign in or you've encountered a hardware malfunctions, an unexpected configuration change, or another security
    event. Recovery key will be able to secure your device that only an authorized person can unlock your device and restore it. To know more about your issue about BitLocker, we would like to know the following:

    • Is your account being managed by an IT administrator?
    • Have you tried looking for your BitLocker recovery key? If no, kindly click on this
      link
      for tips on where you can look for it.

    • What troubleshooting steps have you done so far?

    We're looking forward to your response.
