    Did you read the news about how nowadays is almost impossible to use Windows 11 without a Microsoft account?

    When/if any user uses the computer with a Microsoft account, then the bitlocker decryption key is silently and automatically uploaded to Microsoft servers as a “safe backup” 😉

      Yep, this tracks. I wish the article was clearer about it, because to me it seems like they were indicating there was some permission involved in the choice. Which is not really the case in any meaningful sense.
