        I understand what veracrypt is, i don’t understand willingly using an operating system that constantly violates your privacy at every given opportunity.

          Do you have a source for that?

          This article said “by default”. The article they link to on that talks about encryption on by default on new PCs. The article I read before this one said “Microsoft recommends”.

          BitLocker FAQ says

          How can the recovery password and recovery key be stored?

          The recovery password and recovery key for an operating system drive or a fixed data drive can be saved to a folder, saved to one or more USB devices, saved to a Microsoft Account, or printed.
