Recovery BitLocker key on Win10 Pro
Hello, I've got Windows 10 Pro on my laptop. I have installed Windows myself & have used the same account till now, I haven't changed that. When I log into Microsoft account, I can find my device and the license which is linked to that laptop, but there are no BitLocker keys linked to that. That means, I'm trying to find my BitLocker key but it's not visible on Microsoft account which is linked to my Windows license. I can't access that encrypted SSD because my laptop is down so I can't check it in CMD. I'm trying to use that disc in another laptop but to access that I need a BitLocker key.
Just for you to know, I believe I have studied all Microsoft instructions, tutorials etc related to BitLocker key recovering...
Could anyone support me with recovering that key, please? I know Win10 is not supported anymore, but I don't believe that is the reason why I can't find my BitLocker key there.
Kindly asking for help 🙏

If the key is not in MS account, then there is no way to find the recovery key. By the way, do you have the text backup of recovery key? When you enabled BitLocker on your device, it will create a backup of recovery key by default.
Hi Timothy, do you mean that system automatically creates a notepad file with BitLocker recovery key inside?
Did you sign in the same microsoft account on that Windows 10 Pro laptop?
Hello, yes, of course. In general, I have tried all accounts that I have. Nothing works...
BitL.ocker recovery keys are only stored in your Microsoft account if you explicitly choose to save them there during encryption or in certain setups.
