Windows 10: Recovering BitLocker encrypted partition

HiI had a drive partition "E" encrypted with BitLocker. My laptop broke and I had to swap the disk on a new laptop. Is there any way to recover data from that encrypted partition?It shows as an empty partition on the new laptop and I can also add more data to it, I don't know where my previous data is gone.Another thing I saw is that in BitLocker settings, all drive partitions show as "Bitlocker encrypting", although I have not enabled BitLocker on any partition.The new laptop is not the same model and runs windows 11, the old one used to run windows 10.I have a recovery key, but how do I use

:)

How can I recover a deleted 2 bitlocker partition?

My hard drive is 465.76 GB. It has 3 partitions. Two of its partition is BitLocker encrypted for storing personal data. Another 1 is not BitLocker encrypted. These partitions were accidentally deleted while doing a windows installation (at the screen where I was supposed to select the partition to install). How do I recover partitions such that I can continue to unlock these two by using my BitLocker password?
