Years ago I had a Laptop with Win10 Pro. I used Bitlocker to encrypt an external USB drive. I still have the password. I want to remove the Bitlocker protection now, but I only have Win 11 Home now. When I type Bitlocker in the searchbar it shows no results since that is a Pro feature. How do I remove the Encryption? I don’t have access to a PC with Windows Pro.
AFAIK you should still be able to unlock the drive to access the data, but ye Home doesn’t give you access to the control panel to change it. If you can open it to copy off whatever data you want to keep (or don’t care about keeping anything), you can do that then just reformat the drive from Disk Management
