Pretty much every Windows machine I’ve ever owned after a certain year requires you to type in your Bitlocker key, including my first-gen Surface Go from 2018.
This is interesting. I had a work computer require this ~4 years ago, but not one of the three since have (personal and different employers.)
Architecture of the 500 or 1000?
Did they do traditional or “Microsoft Xbox” versioning? (Was 1000 before or after 500?)
