uhoh, and wait for the time when the user will update his BIOS, that resets TPM2, and at reboot bitlocker asks for the 48 digits key to decrypt hard drive, that the user never saved...
Wait? My Lenovo laptop did exactly this. It first encrypted the SSD without telling me, then it updated the bios via windows update (or via Lenovo assistant, but still it was unattended)
Luckily I was using a Microsoft account (usually I don't because fuck that) so the keys were automatically backupped
The automatic encryption and subsequent backup both took place because you were using a Microsoft Account
