    Device Encryption


    I am using Win 11 with version 24H2. I sign into windows with a local admin account not using Microsoft Account Login.I was told that it is best to enable device encryption so I enabled it. I am concerned because I was not given a recovery key. Can you help me to find the recovery key or do you not recommend that I use device encryption?

    :)

    device encryption

    All apps » Settings » System » Device encryption » Device encryption: On

    That encrypts just the internal phone memory and not the microSD, yet. Therefore:

    • All apps » Settings » System » About » More info: Please, post (just) your OS build
    • Did you try a new microSD already and did that face the same issue?
