Microsoft encrypts explanation of borked Windows 10 encryption

One way encryption

It's so encrypted that it can't be decrypted by anything - even the owner.

A likely problem is that the Beast hasn't worked out a back door API deal with the self encrypting drive makers yet, and so can't uphold their commitments to various TLAs to keep that back door open. People might start encrypting stuff on their PCs that Microsoft can't grant access to recover.
