I have Windows 10.

I'm walking through "SupportAssist OS Recovery"

I'm being asked to provide a Bitlocker Recovery key.

There are 2 keys available. Which do I choose?

#1: Drive = OSV, Upload date = 7 June 2023 (yes, 2023)

#2: Drive = FDV, Upload date = 9 Mar 2023 (yes)

Info: My laptop time is always correct AFAIK.

First follow-up question: Should I delete one of those keys?

Second follow-up question: What do OSV and FDV stand for ?

Thanks

Drive with OSV is the Primary Drive containing OS, while FDV is the secondary drive. So you will need the OSV key

For those dates I did some research but couldn't understand microsoft's explanation. It has something to do with Support Expiration.

Unless encryption is a business requirement for you, I would remove bit locker
