Windows 10: Bitlocker

I feel like I am going round in circles! Did an update on the Lenovo website last week. When I switched back I was asked for a Bitlocker key. No idea as I have never set one up. Now laptop wont work. I was given a bitocker recovery key id and date the laptop was created. Contacted MS and they said it was a Lenovo problem. Contacted Lenovo and they said it was a MS one. Usual standard "have a look for it" advice doesn't work. Lenovo are going to send me a recovery USB but that would mean I will lose some unbacked up files. Is there no way somebody has the code if I provide them with the recovery id and drive info pls? Feel reallylet down by this.
