Windows 11 24H2 forced data encryption ( Bitlocker ) and data loss

Two things I want to covey with this posting are related to Microsoft enabling Bitlocker by default when users update to 24H2. When this happens and in most cases you aren’t even prompted to record the Bitlocker recovery key by downloading, printing nor upload to your Microsoft account.

The second is, is related to the first, how the over dependence on cloud services can also cause you to violate Microsoft “terms of use” and then lose that data forever. Its termed a lockout. Backup your stuff to a local drive or NAS device folks. Please review the entire article over on Neowin’s website.
