    BitLocker Recovery Key not stored in Microsoft Account


    Here is the sequence of events that resulted in me unable to access the data on my additional HDD.


    30th August - Purchased new computer and installed windows 10 64-bit Pro on 500GB internal harddrive.


    4th September - Added another 2TB harddrive and moved my personal data.


    17th September - Installed Linux operating system on internal hard drive overwriting windows 10. Unable to access the data on the 2 TB HDD from Linux.


    17th September - Reinstalled Windows 10 64-bit Pro on 500GB internal harddrive overwriting Linux.


    Unable to access the 2 TB HDD from Windows since it was bitlocker encrypted.


    My Microsoft Account has 2 BitLocker recovery keys. But both are for the internal HDD in which the OS was installed twice. No key listed for the external HDD.


    Is there a way to get the bitlocker recovery key for the external HDD?


    Is it possible that the 2 TB HDD I purchased was bitlocker enabled by the previous buyer and then returned to seller and that's why it is not listed in my microsoft account?

    :)

    bitlocker key id recovery

    Hi Jessen P

    Thank you very much for your advice.

    I did follow your suggestion but I can't get recovery key.

    I got the below message.

    You don't have any BitLocker recovery keys in your Microsoft account.

    Next Step, What should I do?

    BitLocker Recovery Key not stored in Microsoft Account

    Cannot Save Bitlocker Recovery Key to Microsoft Account

    I have a brand new Surface Pro with Windows 10. I am attempting to enable BitLocker.

    From the Control Panel / Manage Bitlocker, I click "Turn on BitLocker".

    I am given a question, "How do you want to backup your recovery key?" and I choose, "Save to your Microsoft account."

    I am greeted with a popup, "Bitlocker Drive Encryption error. Can't sign in to your Microsoft account. You need to be signed in to Windows with a Microsoft account to save your recovery key. Sign out and hen sign in with a Microsoft account, or go to
    Settings and choose Accounts to change your existing account."

    I am signed in, but I went through these steps again, but I am unable to save my recovery key to my Microsoft account.

    How do I fix this?
