How to find bitlocker recovery key with recovery key ID

I have an LG gram laptop. For some reason today it opened to the bitlocker screen. I do not have any recollection of setting up bitlocker, nor do I have a key saved in my Microsoft account. The page is displaying a “recovery key ID” that it says can help identify my key, but I cannot figure out where to enter this to get my key.

I am also unclear on what will happen if I click “skip this drive”. Will that delete all my files or lock me out?

    you are right same thing happened to me .if you press skip this drive, it will show diagnosing your pc then automatic repair. There will be two options restart and advanced options. if you press restart, it will restart your pc and it will show your device ran into a problem we will restart it for you. then after that it will take you back to BitLocker.
