How to backup bitlocker USB key?
About a year ago, I bought a Windows 7 (Ultimate? ) computer from a box store and I paid someone from the tech company to set it up.
The tech person encrypted the drive with bitlocker and gave me a USB key and said never lose it or you will never be able to start your computer. Every time my computer reboots because of a Microsoft security update, I have to put in the USB key before the computer boots up.
It really just dawned on me that while I won't lose the key, there's no saying that the USB key won't break. If it does, I can't access the data on my computer.
Could someone tell me what is this USB key and how do I make a copy of it so that I can still get into my computer if the original USB key ever fails?
Thank you
