    BitLocker Windows 10 is not available on anything but my system drive.


    I need to set up BitLocker encryption on all of my drives on my Desktop PC, but when I attempt to encrypt my drives, only my C drive is available, not my D or E drives.


    None of my drives are dynamic, they are all basic internal NTFS drives. How do I enable BitLocker on these drives? If I cannot enable BitLocker, what are my alternatives?


    I am on Windows 10 Pro and am unable to find a solution by searching or troubleshooting.

    :)

    Need to turn off Bitlocker to install Windows 10

    Hi,

    We suggest doing the following steps again to resolve the issue. To complete the procedure, make sure that you have the following information:

    • You must be able to provide administrative credentials.
    • The drive must be BitLocker-protected.
    To suspend BitLocker Drive Encryption on an operating system drive, please follow the steps below:

    • Click Start, click Control Panel, click
      System and Security, and then click BitLocker Drive Encryption.
    • Click Suspend Protection for the operating system drive.
    • A message is displayed, informing you that your data will not be protected while BitLocker is suspended and asking if you want to suspend BitLocker Drive Encryption.
    • Click Yes to continue and suspend BitLocker on the drive.

    Let us know how it goes.

    BitLocker Windows 10 is not available on anything but my system drive.

    Windows 8.1 PRO unable to unlock Bitlocked drive

    That's not good. You can try re-installing Windows 8 and unlocking the drive, and disabling Bitlocker on that drive, before upgrading to 8.1.
