Windows: Wow…that was a great update wasn’t it? I’m feeling great. We’re all great, just type in that bitlocker recovery key and we’ll be ready to go.
Me: Wait my what now? Oh yeah (nervous laugh) I have that. It’ll be right here…oh, that was silly of me, I know where it’s at just one sec…well this is awkward, hold on I can find it.
Windows: No worries it happens to everyone. I’ll just wait. Not like I can boot up without it anyway right? Ha!
Me: Ha! Yeah that’s hilarious…not there either dammit…Wow…just one sec….
Fast forward…I did find the key, and the backup, and the backup of the backup, but if you haven’t hugged your BitLocker recovery key lately, maybe take some time to do that just in case.
True Story – I wasn’t going to post this here (it was on facebook originally) but I had an error message in a category menu I made and making a post for this category resolved it without forcing me to do a manual step later, so here we are.
