If you are setting up full disk encryption on Windows and create a rescue disk onto a USB drive, is it safe to eject the USB drive immediately after it creates the rescue disk? (assuming you successfully verified the rescue disk, or just skipped the verification)
I just want to make sure it's safe, I wasn't sure if it should stay plugged in until the entire encryption process is completed and you're able to power off the system, or if actually leaving it the whole time might cause issues somehow.
You can eject the USB disk containing the Rescue Disk safely after it was verified or its verification skipped: it is not used after this step and it is not needed for the rest of system encryption process.
