What about for users who only have local accounts? How would they provide the bit locker code? Its normally linked to your Microsoft account no? Maybe there is a local place to find it and its up to you to back it up just in case.

Me personally I have my 2TB ssd split into two partitions with windows on one and all my steam and bnet games on the other. If I ever lose my bit-locker code or it locks up I guess I can just reinstall.

I use my laptop with Linux on it for any personal data, my desktop is exclusively for gaming.
