If using BitLocker, note the following.
Be sure to keep the recovery password secure. Do not keep it near a server running
BitLocker.
To reinstall the operating system into a partition that is encrypted with BitLocker, delete the

more. The recovery password might be required at startup of the OS after
the following:
