Here is how to save your personal Bitlocker Recovery Key to your personal Microsoft Account when you are doing your student device encryption.
For this example, we will click “Save to your Microsoft Account”.
If your device is not connected to your personal Microsoft account, you will receive this message. (NOTE: If you don't have a personal Microsoft account, please create one).
In this situation, however, it is not necessary to switch to a Microsoft account. Rather, it is sufficient to link your device with your Microsoft account. To do so, add it in the Settings under Accounts > Email and accounts.
After this, you can save your BitLocker recovery key to your Microsoft account.
Read the BitLocker key from the Microsoft account
If you need the recovery key, you can log on to your Microsoft account on any device and read all the keys for the computers that you have stored there. To do so, visit https://account.microsoft.com/devices/recoverykey. After signing in, a list with the keys appears. You can also delete them from here, if necessary.
