    honestly the hardest part was realising microsoft had a dumb bitlocker thing and having to search for the key (thankfully it was in my microsoft account)

      Bitlocker is a good thing that should be the default for windows users.

      But not telling the user, not giving them the choice and switching it on without their knowledge, is super scummy.

      now imagine you getting locked out of your account for whatever reason. as I read multiple people experienced it already.

      That’s my main reason for not pursuing a VM version yet. While I rarely go into the WIndows side now, I don’t want anything to show a different usage and give them a reason to lock the Windows part. I ran into something like that a few years ago, had to go through all sorts of validation with the Microsoft account to get things running right again. Wow, it almost sounds like holding the computer hostage.
