Windows 11 forced update has completely fucked me. It enabled bitlocker and has locked me out of my drive with all my work on it. I have no key to unlock it and have no way to get through it. This has put me off windows forever. If anyone can help me get my files from this thing I would be eternally grateful and willing to pay.

I'm no fan of apple either for other reasons.

How stupid is it for me to jump into Linux? Anyone have resources to teach myself?

If you were signed in to a Microsoft account you can get your bit locker recovery keys by signing in online

Unfortunately I was never able to get my device in my Microsoft account. I spent two hours on the phone with them two days ago, they couldn't do a single thing to help at all. I'm now trying to find anyone that can brute force their way through the BitLock, I would be willing to pay for that.
