the recovery key is enforced by bitlocker when you activate bitlocker, if you are converting to bitlocker with an automatic process then you are being asked to generate one. if someone else did this process then that someone elses account may have the key in their account. other than that I dont see any pitfall that you should be aware of

Thank you for your input. &nbsp;I have once a problem when BitLocker prompted for a recovery key, even after Symantec Endpoint Encryption was removed.

Encryption is the process of encoding messages or information in such a way that only authorized parties can read it. In an encryption scheme, the intended communication information or message, referred to as plaintext, is encrypted using an encryption algorithm, generating ciphertext that can only be read if decrypted. For technical reasons, an encryption scheme usually uses a pseudo-random encryption key generated by an algorithm. An authorized recipient can easily decrypt the message with the key provided by the originator to recipients, but not to unauthorized interceptors.
