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?

    If your BitLocker recovery key is available, it would appear on your Microsoft account page. However, if your BitLocker recovery key isn't available, you'll need to contact your device manufacturer or IT administrator for help. They may need to provide other methods to unlock your computer.
