c't Magazin<p>Wenn bei einem Windows-PC die Geräteverschlüsselung Probleme macht, dann meistens so richtig, und dann müsst ihr den "Bitlocker-Wiederherstellungsschlüssel" zur Hand haben. ☝️🤓</p><p>Im ganzen Video zeigen wir euch, wie ihr den Wiederherstellungsschlüssel direkt in Windows anzeigen könnt: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TjHmoQminxw" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">youtube.com/watch?v=TjHmoQminx</span><span class="invisible">w</span></a></p><p><a href="https://social.heise.de/tags/Windows" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Windows</span></a> <a href="https://social.heise.de/tags/Bitlocker" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Bitlocker</span></a></p>
George E. 🇺🇸♥🇺🇦🇵🇸🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️<p>In December I ditched <a href="https://bofh.social/tags/Windows11" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Windows11</a> and went feet-first into <a href="https://bofh.social/tags/LinuxMint" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#LinuxMint</a>. Frankly I got fed up with the <a href="https://bofh.social/tags/enshittification" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#enshittification</a> and <a href="https://bofh.social/tags/CoPilot-ization" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#CoPilot-ization</a><span> of everything Microsoft.<br><br>I use </span><a href="https://bofh.social/tags/AI" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AI</a> on a daily basis. Both locally hosted <a href="https://bofh.social/tags/LLMs" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#LLMs</a><span> and LLMs from several vendors in the cloud.<br><br></span><i>But the last thing I want is an AI deeply embedded in my operating system indexing who knows what and sending my personal data to Microsoft's (or anybody's) cloud.</i><span><br><br>So it wasn't easy since I've got 48TB of local storage in my workstation, and they were all </span><a href="https://bofh.social/tags/BitLocker" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BitLocker</a><span> volumes, but it also wasn't terribly hard either.<br><br>Made sure I had the </span><a href="https://bofh.social/tags/BitLocker" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BitLocker</a> recovery keys for all of my drives, installed <a href="https://bofh.social/tags/Linux" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Linux</a>, then mounted each of my <a href="https://bofh.social/tags/BitLocker" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BitLocker</a> volumes one-by-one (under Linux (!)) and then migrated the data off, then re-formatted the hard drives as ext4 and set up <a href="https://bofh.social/tags/Luks" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Luks</a> <a href="https://bofh.social/tags/FDE" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FDE</a><span>.<br><br>But there were two pieces of software I missed. </span><a href="https://bofh.social/tags/3D" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#3D</a> software. And while I use Blender on a daily basis, this sofware only ran on Windows. And don't get me started, but <a href="https://bofh.social/tags/Wine" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Wine</a> is not an option for everything. Even bought <a href="https://bofh.social/tags/CrossOver" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#CrossOver</a><span> and the software didn't work with it, either.<br><br>But today I'm proud to report I successfully got </span><a href="https://bofh.social/tags/GPU" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#GPU</a> <a href="https://bofh.social/tags/PassThru" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#PassThru</a> to work with my <a href="https://bofh.social/tags/Windows11" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Windows11</a> <a href="https://bofh.social/tags/QEMU" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#QEMU</a>/<a href="https://bofh.social/tags/KVM" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#KVM</a> <a href="https://bofh.social/tags/VM" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#VM</a><span>! So now I can run that software too.<br><br>So if you're on the fence about ditching </span><a href="https://bofh.social/tags/Windows" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Windows</a>, don't be. It's pretty fucking easy and only a little bit more complicated if you have something that needs your <a href="https://bofh.social/tags/GPU" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#GPU</a>.</p>

Bob Young<p>“My daughter’s personal computer, she uses for school work, came up with needing a BitLocker recovery password.”</p><p>Over the weekend I was contacted by a dad on the other side of the country trying to locate the BitLocker key. This is a very common problem. Microsoft’s position is, “Don’t worry, we store you BitLocker keys for you in your Microsoft account!” Microsoft’s attitude seems like: “I know you’re in water over your head, and you can’t swim, and you’re drowning and choking, but don’t worry, we have life preservers right here on the boat. Come get one!” </p><p>The reality is that many people have no idea what to do when faced with this challenge.</p><p>You must protect yourself. Get your BitLocker recovery key for every BitLocker device, and store it safely yourself. You can find information on how to get your recovery key by searching for “find my BitLocker recovery key,” or a similar phrase, using any search engine.</p><p>If you don’t want to do that, contact me, and I’ll help you get your BitLocker key(s) for a very reasonable fee.</p><p><a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/CallMeIfYouNeedMe" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CallMeIfYouNeedMe</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/FIFONetworks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FIFONetworks</span></a></p><p><a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/BitLocker" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BitLocker</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/HelpDesk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>HelpDesk</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/TechSupport" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TechSupport</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/RemoteSupport" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RemoteSupport</span></a></p>
