hearing about this was my final straw, thank god
Since when is Bitlocker required? None of my files are encrypted, and I've been using 11 since it came out.
Bitlocker encrypts your drive, not single files. Once the computer is booted up, it's completely transparent to the user.

If they are still using windows, their privacy and data safety was never of importance to them, anyway.
Or just get the data back from the backups they made.
Data privacy != Documents/data on hard disk
If I have documents on my harddisk, they are private. If a windows 11 user has documents on their harddisk, they are not.
I am LITERALLY in the process of migrating my servers to my new NixOS server after months of prep work. This couldn't have been more timely lol Funniest part is, I just did my own TPM based encryption on my drives.
