yep 100% positive now I do not have the 12 words, I searched my network drive at work, I ran a massive search over 9tb of storage, checked my screenshots folder, even looked in my NDA folders just incase I stuffed it into that, nope, so guessing I'm boned? meaning I'll have to get IS to reset everything and get me a new encryption key for my work laptop... great.
unless you have something else we can try?
