    Recovery Key


    My laptop motherboard fried recently and I had it fixed by Lenovo. When they returned it to me, I am required to input the BitLocker Recovery Key. However, I do not have one. When I look on my Microsoft 365 account, that laptop is not showing for some reason. Is there anyway to get the Recovery Key for that computer so I don't lose everything on it?

    :)

    Hi Nawaxx,

    Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community. Appreciate your interest in using Windows 10.

    I suggest you to download and install the latest software for ‘One Key Recovery’ from the manufacturer website and check if it helps.

    If the issue still persists, uninstall the software and install it in compatibility mode by following the steps below:

    • Right click on the ‘Setup’ icon for the driver and click on properties.
    • Under Compatibility tab, check the option for Run in Compatibility mode.
    • Select Windows 8 from the drop down list.
    • Click on Apply and then OK.
    • Install the driver software.

    Hope the information is helpful. Feel free to write to us for any other assistance with Windows, we’ll be glad to assist you.
