Went to grab my BitLocker key from my Microsoft account and there are several keys labelled OSV and FDV. Which one do I need if the laptop asks for the recovery key at boot?

Updated the BIOS on my laptop and now it boots to a blue BitLocker screen wanting a 48-digit key. I never knowingly turned BitLocker on. Where would that key have been saved, and can I look it up from another device?

Turned it on this morning and got a blue screen asking for a 48 digit key. I never set up any encryption myself. It's a Dell I bought second hand last year. Where would the key be?
