Where can I later find this key if I cannot get into bios? If even possible. For the case where I help a friend and the person has no idea what that key even is and win11 ask for it during boot. Thank you.

If the key is not backed up, the data is lost, clearing CMOS might help, unless it is protected.

Hmm ok. The user bought a laptop and just went next/next/next. Seems not to be a step that backs up the key in the installer? He then hated the MS account login thing and found out how to make a local user, and use that and forgot about the online account and the email used. Thank you for confirming.
