    Syskey will be removed in version 1709, it is not recommended to use it anymore. From Wikipedia:

    Syskey utility will be removed in Windows 10 Fall Creators Update and Windows Server "RS3" due to its weak cryptography and ransomware scams risks. Microsoft recommends BitLocker as replacement.
