a. Open the Windows Explorer
b. Go to "This PC" (EN) or "Dieser PC" (DE) on the left side panel of the Windows Explorer, afterwards do a right-click on the system hard drive (C:) as stated in the following picture
c. Now a dropdown menu will open, there you click the option "Activate Bitlocker" (EN) or "Bitlocker aktivieren" (DE).
d. A new dialog box will appear, displaying the available options for saving your Bitlocker Recovery Key. We recommend to make a hard copy. Consequently, we will here proceed with the option "Print the recovery key" (EN) or "Wiederherstellungsschlüssel drucken" (DE).
f. Next, you can either save the recovery key as a PDF (Microsoft Print to PDF) or, if you have a physical printer set up, print it directly.
g. If you save it as a PDF, make sure to choose a memorable name so you can easily locate it, even after several years.
h. Finally, you can proceed to the actual Bitlocker activation - as depicted in the screenshots below.
i. EXCELLENT, now Bitlocker is activated and your device is compliant with the university's guidelines. You can easily check if the hard drive is Bitlocker encrypted by looking at the hard drive symbol, which is now should be marked with a lock. FINALLY, in case you have not printed out the Bitlocker recovery key already, please do so and maybe make a copy of it. As soon as you printed it out, store it in a safe place (but not near device) and the copy you can hand in to the working group's (AG's) secretary/assistent.
