Remember, always print your recovery code to pdf and save it to the same drive. This way, when it happens, you're forced to only use Linux.

I thought Windows wouldn't let you save it to the same drive? Its been a while, granted. But i had to plug in a USB or print it out.

It is clever enough to not let you save the key to the same drive that’s encrypted. If you print to PDF the print dialogue box doesn’t care where you save the PDF.
