All of the data I actually care about is stored on a NAS and backed up in triplicate. The only data actually on my PC are program files.

I didn't expect Windows to become THAT shit. Well it's good for Linux I guess.
Since when is Bitlocker required? None of my files are encrypted, and I've been using 11 since it came out.
Every retail PC I've seen with win11 has bitlocker enabled. Screwed one over as they forgot their password...
It automatically encrypts the drive only if admin has a Microsoft account (to backup the key on their cloud servers for easier ~~LEO access~~ data recovery) and the PC is a prebuilt
If one of the condition is not met, the automatic ransomware isn't enabled
Did you use Rufus? You can bypass Bitlocker. Or your machine does not have TPM 2.0 (which you can also bypass)…?
