But you need a recovery key to begin with, because the main key is sealed in the TPM and not visible from anything other than Windows. So Bitlocker essentially forces Windows on you. > Bitlocker has nothing to do with Secure Boot. Disabling "Secure" (Restricted) Boot will change the TPM measurements and hence also prevent the key from being unsealed. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/security/information-protection/bitlocker/bitlocker-countermeasures#uefi-and-secure-boot So Bitlocker essentially forces Restricted Boot on you. > This is entirely beside the point though, which is to try and make dual > boot as useful for users as possible.

Really sad though that we have to work around a broken piece of "security" software that effectively functions like a ransomware. Where is the outcry about this misfeature? Setting up Bitlocker behind the user's back, i.e., also without prompting for a passphrase, provides absolutely no security in the event of a stolen notebook because somebody else hitting the power button will NOT change the TPM measurements, the power button is not a fingerprint reader.
