  1. Bitlocker encrypting secondary hard drive after switching boot SSD.


    I swapped out to a larger boot drive as Windows filled most the 100 GB up and I copied my OS and data on the C: drive using Marcium Reflect. After the swap, every time I boot my D: drive is locked behind bitlocker and I need to enter my key. A little annoying in itself , but it's causing a lot of issues in applications not being able to see the drive after unlock. Even though the files and applications are available.

    Windows 1903 OS Build 18262.778


    Not sure what other relevant info I can provide but I can provide it need be. Thank you for any assistance.


    P.S Not sure which catagory to place this in, if it fits better elsewhere do tell.

    :)

  4. Bitlocker encrypting secondary hard drive after switching boot SSD.

    Bitlocker Drive Encryption

    Recently I was attempting to encrypt my drive with bitlocker because windows was suggesting to encrypt them via the security page when logging into my account. Though, when I do attempt to encrypt them with bitlocker it states that my drive is already
    encrypted via bitlocker. I was wondering if there was a different way that it needs to be set up because I was hoping to add the extra layer of security to my drives with bitlocker encryption and password protecting them via a recovery key.
