That's not a bad idea, but if you are going to be using Linux then I'd recommend exporting the key and, for example, saving it in your password manager and/or on a USB stick (preferably after encrypting it). That way you can easily decrypt the partition using
dislocker. Also, personally, I do not want to my encryption keys to shared with Microsoft, but that's just me ¯\(ツ)/¯
