I have Windows 8 Pro. When I activated Bitlocker, I was asked to Save my Recovery Key to Microsoft.  I did this and now want to know where/how I would access it from Microsoft if/when I need it.  Where is it?

When you save you recovery key with Microsoft it is loaded onto your associated SkyDrive account.  It will not show up in your SkyDrive however.  To view your recovery key login in to http://skydrive.com/RecoveryKey using the email associated with your Microsoft account.  Your recovery key can then be emailed to the account associated with your Microsoft account.

Hi, 

You can also refer to following article to know where we can find the recovery key:
