b. Save to a file – saves the recovery key to a text file
c. Print the Recovery Key – prints the Bitlocker recovery key, even to a virtual printer.

a. Note that Bitlocker doesn't allow saving a recovery key file onto the same drive that is about to be encrypted.
b. However, it does allow printing that recovery key to a file on the same drive that is about to be encrypted. This method is not recommended as well but for the sake of this article we will do it this way.
c. Note – Never save the recovery code file onto the same drive that is about to be encrypted. If for some reason that drive gets locked out, the recovery key file would be locked out along with it.
