My computer got update automatically. After successfully updating, bitlocker automatically got installed and computer is now locked. I don't have any recovery key backed up to my microsoft account or anywhere else because it locked automatically without asking for backup or anything. How do I again take backup of recovery key to microsoft account. If not, I want to know if resetting my laptop can cause licence to windows uninstall?
