Windows 10: BitLocker Save to USB Flash missing?

Hi,

I followed the step by step guide on what Brink wrote up below.

However, when turning ON BitLocker to encrypt the OS drive only, and ask me to where to save the recovery key, I get only the Save to File and not the Save to USB Flash. Has MS taken out the Save to USB selection since WIn 10 version 1511?

I followed all the steps and left BitLocker to its default setting (except for encryption method).

I was able to save the recovery key to a file which was my USB flash drive.

Paste the key into a Notepad file, then save the file to your flash drive.

I want to save my BitLocker Key to a usb flash drive, but I can't find instructions on how to do this.

 

No, Bitlocker works fine on 1511 and whether you save your key to USB, use a password or whatever is defined in group policy.

Please let us know what gpedit.msc settings you have made. The various settings are described in the tutorial.

 

The only settings I made in Gpedit are the Encryption Cypher Strenght/Method with XTS-AES 256.
The rest is default with nothing configured.
Please note, that I am only doing this for the OS drive, nothing else.
The strange thing, that I don't get the option to Save to USB. Instead, I see Save to File.

I did not allow to set a Startup Key if that matters. Everything is set to Not Configured in Gpedit.
Except for the Encryption Method.

That's it.
