The ConvertTo-HgsKeyProtector cmdlet is a powerful tool in Windows PowerShell that allows users to convert a specified key protector to a different type. This is particularly useful in scenarios where a change in the key protector type is required, such as when migrating from one version of Windows to another or when implementing new security measures.

By understanding and utilizing the ConvertTo-HgsKeyProtector cmdlet, Windows users can effectively manage their key protectors and ensure the security of their systems.

Examples:

1. Convert BitLocker Recovery Key to TPM Protector:

   The following PowerShell command converts a BitLocker recovery key to a Trusted Platform Module (TPM) protector:

   ConvertTo-HgsKeyProtector -KeyProtectorId "XXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX" -ToTpm

   This command converts the specified BitLocker recovery key, identified by its KeyProtectorId, to a TPM protector.

2. Convert TPM Protector to Password Protector:

   To convert a TPM protector to a password protector, use the following PowerShell command:

   ConvertTo-HgsKeyProtector -KeyProtectorId "XXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX" -ToPassword

   This command converts the specified TPM protector to a password protector, allowing users to authenticate using a password instead of relying solely on the TPM.

3. Convert Password Protector to Recovery Password Protector:

   The following PowerShell command converts a password protector to a recovery password protector:

   ConvertTo-HgsKeyProtector -KeyProtectorId "XXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX" -ToRecoveryPassword

   This command converts the specified password protector to a recovery password protector, which can be used to recover access to the system in case the original password is forgotten.
