When you have your new laptop, check to see if the drive is encrypted. Mine were, and after upgrading the SSD drive, I couldn’t get into the old drive. It asked for the bitlocker key, which was never given. I’ve since unencypted my laptops.

Microsoft has it. You can usually get it via your Microsoft account, which you probably created when you set up Windows. Search for "Finding your BitLocker recovery key."
