Windows 10: BitLocker auto encryption

I got an SSD installed in place of internal HDD and installed internal HDD in place of the CD Rom with help of a casing in Dell Vostro 14-3468. So when I installed win10 in my SSD and tried to access the partitions of HDD, I saw that those drives were encrypted with bitLocker. I had linked my Microsoft Account in my laptop when I had only HDD in my laptop but I did not turn Bitlocker on. Now I don't have the recovery key. It is neither stored on microsoft account. It was automatically encrypted may be due to security reasons. I am unable to boot from my HDD because it asks for bitlocker recove

Hi Jeffrey

Open the old Control Panel

Go to BitLocker Drive Encryption

Expand that rive which is encrypted with Bitlocker
