Windows 11 with TPM 2.0 ensures enhanced security features.
Your motherboard is the ROG Crosshair 8 Hero X570 with TPM 2.0 enabled. You're facing a tricky situation because Windows 11 requires TPM 2.0, and you're unsure whether your BitLocker is active or how to locate the recovery key. You're worried about making mistakes during installation, which could affect your system.
Bitlocker isn't activated by default. Your recovery key is saved and available through your Microsoft account. Without one, you must store it securely outside your device. Once configured, Bitlocker will rely on your TPM chip to protect most of the storage.
