Thank you.

OS Name Microsoft Windows 11 Pro Version 10.0.26100 Build 26100 Hi, I have the above Windows 11 build and I log into my laptop using a local Administrator account that does not use a Microsoft account and which has a password set for this local Admin account. I am considering setting up...

Shawn, I have succeeded in enabling the BitLocker Start Up PIN screen to appear. I would like to thank you for your wonderful help on all this. I really appreciate it. I am going to summarize below how I got this to work (fingers crossed!). Perhaps you know a better place to post the process...

OK will do. And do you know the answers to 1 and 3 in my previous post. Sorry to go on but I like to be very thoroughly prepared with a fallback plan before I do anything ;-) . It has served me well!

Thank you Shawn. I have now created a Recovery Drive and as instructed by Microsoft cleared the "Clear the Back up system files to the recovery drive check box and then select Next." Was that correct? Is there a way for me to test that my Recovery Drive is verified good to go? I have a digital...

The thing is i will have Enabled the GPO “Enable use of Bitlocker authentication requiring preboot keyboard input on slates”. That policy says you must have an alternative means of inputting such as a USB keyboard. This is why I am so concerned as to whether the surface keyboard itself will work...

Thank you. Having upgraded my Surface to windows Pro and paying to do so, if i have to clean install back to Windows 11 Home will Microsoft allow me to change the key to my windows pro key? Because of course the latter is in use on the Surface which would be wiped.

Thats where my knowledge fails re clean install using USB at boot. I don’t know how to do that. I dont have any installation media. I have no idea how to restore the Surface to as it was when I purchased it from Microsoft. Separately are yiu able to raise this issue with Microsoft? Im still...

Thanks Shawn. So that's a weird difference per se. OK, I can set a PIN when both GPO's are enabled as I described. If I did so, and rebooted I would expect to see the BitLocker PIN blue screen. key question: if I cannot then use the Surface's own keyboard to enter that PIN have I rendered my PC...

My PC is fully up to date. So just to be clear, when you edit both GPOs in my previous post you do not see the same result (ability to set a PIN) as I do? Also, could you run System Information and look for "Platform Role" please, does it say "Slate"?

Hello Shawn, I don't want to do anything that leaves me in a situation where I cannot boot up my new Surface PC. I don't have sufficient expertise to get out of that situation but you would ;-) . You can display the option to set a PIN in the following way. 1. Enable the GPO “Enable use of...

Thanks Shawn. Look forward to hearing from you. I do hope you are able to resolve this. And yes your surface laptop 7 looks to have exactly the same specs as mine.

Hello Shawn, I cannot do this and would really appreciate your help. I have posted my issue here which fully explains my problem Enable or Disable BitLocker to Unlock OS drive at Startup with PIN and USB in Windows 11
