    You can still mount it to another machine if you have the key. It’s an extra layer of pain in the ass, though.

    I don’t use an M$ account so if your key is backed up to the cloud (aside: can’t wait to read the headline about when that gets breached) I don’t personally know offhand how difficult it is to extricate your BitLocker keys from Microsoft.
