    Perfect, this will finally lock out all the old people of their devices because they forget their bitlocker password :D

      I guess they’ll use TPM. I’m so excited to tell half of my “clients” (all seniors in the village) that they are fucked because their Laptop died.

        You don’t need your hard drive if all your files have been secretly moved to OneDrive taps forehead.

        Oh, I can just imagine. Customers getting angry that their tech support cannot “just simply” recover their files like they used to and accuse them of scamming. Fucking thanks, Microsoft.

        Unless you don’t have an MS account or only set up a dummy account just to get the stupid OS to activate and have never used once since.

          Wel then, either get a Microsoft account that you remember the password to or don’t use Windows since they are pushing hard for this type of security. Linux is completely free for people who don’t like the way Windows is heading towards.
