saved to account. What are the options? If I reinstall Windows 11 will that provide a new key?

:)

 

I had to reinstall windows 11, do I need to delete the old BitLocker recovery key and save a new BitLocker recovery key for the new install?

At first, turn off Bitlocker encryption and then reinstall Windows 11, then log in to your Microsoft account, delete the old Bitlocker key saved in the MS account, then enable Bitlocker encryption and save the Bitlocker key.

 

Bitlocker Key not updating in Windows Account

I have a weird problem.

I encrypted my C: drive using bitlocker. I saved my bitlocker recovery key to a USB drive and printed it out. What is weird is when I look at my Microsoft Devices in my on-line Microsoft account I don't see my current bitlocker key displayed. What is displayed are three old keys from computers I no longer use. Thinking it might be a update glitch, in the bitlocker app I saved my bitlocker key to Azure (one of the options hoping it would replicate to my MS Account, I don't have the option of updating my Window's Account, the other options are to save a file with my bitlocker key and save key to another, non-encrypted drive). Saving my key Azure had no effect. My Microsoft account is a Personal, non-Office 365 or work account. My Window's login account is not local, it is an on-line account which is the Windows default. My Account type is Standard, Administrator, again the Windows default.

This problem is not critical but I would like my on-line account updated with my current bitlocker recovery key. Any suggestions? BTW, I de-crypted and re-encrypted my boot drive and my Microsoft account does not show my current encryption key.

 

Bitlocker key can not be found in the microsoft account

After a regular update of Windows my Notebook asked me for the Bitlocker Key although I never activated this. The device is listed in my account but in the list of keys it's not.

Simply doing a reset is definitely not an option, the data is needed.

Every single suggestion for how to find the key is absolutely useless so far.
