Microsoft Windows 10 – uploaded a copy of your Encryption Key

Windows10_logo   Microsoft Windows 10 – one of the excellent feature is that disk encryption is built-in and turned on by default protecting your data in case your device is lost or stolen. But what is less well-known is that if you are like most users and login to Windows 10 using your Microsoft account your computer automatically uploaded a copy of your Encryption Key – which can be used to unlock your encrypted disk – to Microsoft’s servers probably without your knowledge and without an option to opt-out
