    I didn't bitlock my drive. I didn't ask it to but I get a blue screen on boot up and then it says it bit locked. I followed the instruction but when I go to the page it says that page doesn't exist.

    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?
