I am doing the data recovery on this now.
Laptop had Bitlocker enabled. I had to talk the laptop owner through how to access the Bitlocker key in his Microsoft account.
Thankfully the recovery key worked to unlock it. Turning Bitlocker off now.
The screen was damaged on this XPS laptop. I just have the internal screen cable unplugged and am using a Dell Thunderbolt dock to view with an external screen.
This Dell XPS only has USB-C form factor Thunderbolt ports, no regular USB ports or even an HDMI.

I am okay with disk encryption if the owner of the device enables it themselves and understands at least a little bit about it.
Microsoft enabling it on people's computers without their knowledge is really scummy.
I have full disk encryption on my ThinkPad laptop with Linux and I'm okay with that... because I set it up and I know about it.
And yes, laptops with only USB-C are no fun. And also that so many different technologies use the same port. Sometimes the port has DisplayPort, sometimes Thunderbolt, sometimes not.

in reply to OpenComputeDesign • • •Exactly. Most regular people are more concerned about loosing access to their own data than they would be about other people seeing their data.
I see this all the time.
