Microsoft re enables bitlocker, locked my computer and deleted the windows hello pin after installing 23H2.

I always delete everything except my data partition when reinstalling Windows. Since I already have backups, what's the use of keeping those 100MB recovery partitions?

Hi,
Well for one they aren't 100mbs anymore lol
Not they range around 750mbs but ms keeps throwing them at the end of a disk
My original acer had one at the end of a 1tb disk which is silly as hell

Fast forward I left 3gb in front of C and clean installed deleted the recovery partition and resized C to 400gb and now at least it will be at the end of C.
My z490 I have it 2gbs and ms reuses it but it was made with cmd and labeled differently so now I'm doing it that way in hopes mounting 23h2 again ms will use the system reserved in front of C instead of creating a new.

They are mostly useless ms recovery tools
But ms recreating them is priceless silliness, maybe complying with ms new ways would be easiest but not as fun :laugh:

3rd time not the charm reserved partition wise ms created another 850mb+-
No bitlocker as of yet on 23h2
I'll system image it and go back to 22h2 likely pretty soon more AI and copilot my ass I killed it with Brink's reg file :cool:
