Bitlocker, has not been rolled out as part of 24H2 and more than likely won't get rolled out anytime soon, since they have already broken it once with an update.

Also if you have it enabled and don't know the recovery key/code and you don't have the "Microsoft I am going to take all your data account" then you cannot get the code and your pc is bricked, until you reinstall Windows meaning you lose everything, yet another shining reason to never turn it on, on top of it killing your SSD!

As for the last part of your comment, you cannot fully remove "Recall or Co-Pilot" because it has been made a dependency of the File Explorer, meaning if it's not there, the File Explorer will not work properly, this is being investigated at the moment and will hopefully land Microsoft in court, because they will have lied about Recall and Co-Pilot not being a "Tied" to the core operation of the Operating System!

Microsoft are nothing but Liars and frankly I cannot wait to see them dragged into Court over Recall and Co-Pilot because it will happen, especially when Businesses start to notice it's embedded in Enterprise like it is in Pro and Home.

it only asks to enable recall on install with co pilot plus pc's as they only ones that can run it
