Windows 10: BitLocker Drive Encryption Recovery Key

On Windows 10, I'm trying to set up a Bitlock Recovery Key and I accepted the Print option. On the print out I am being asked to compare the start of the identifier on the print out with the identifier on my computer to see if it matches. Where on the computer would I find that Identifier?


Thanks,

Joan
