I have enabled BitLocker on both my internal HDDs, all seems to be well. I was wondering if I could consolidate all the recovery keys on to a single USB drive. From what I can see the file names are all different, but would the OS pickup the correct files if I need run recovery?

I have enabled BitLocker on both my internal HDDs, all seems to be well. I was wondering if I could consolidate all the recovery keys on to a single USB drive. From what I can see the file names are all different, but would the OS pickup the correct files if I need run recovery? Yes, this works. The USB stick will become a single point of failure in this scenario. Perhaps storing the BitLocker and TPM recovery information in Active Directory is a better choice?

Thank you for your thoughts. The PC concerned does not have a TPM nor access to an AD. Apart from access to the Internet, it is a stand-alone machine. I was merely considering storing the recovery keys on a single USB stick. Would the OS use the correct files in a recovery situation if the recovery keys for multiple disks were stored together on the same USB stick?
