Windows 10: Bitlocker on Windows 10 Pro

I updated my Windows 10 Home to Windows 10 Pro so that I could use bitlocker. I have an ASUS laptop without a TPM and 2 harddisks. Each harddisk is partioned with 2 partations which give me the drives C;, D:, E: and F:. The Windows system is installed on drive C:. Hyper-V is enabled as well.


I wanted to enable bitlocker on all drives and started with drive C:. Since there is not TPM, the policy was changed with gpedit to allow bitlocker to be used without TPM but with password.


After turning on bitlocker on drive C:, the system asked for a password. I created a recover file on both a local disk and a USB-drive.


No the system told me it would restart and check the recovery method before encrypting the C-drive. It did restarted and asked for the password to unlock the drive. However, it keeps telling me that it can't unlock the drive with the password supplied. If I supply another password, I get the message that the password is wrong.


If I try recovering using the recovery password, I also get the message that the drive can't be unlocked. Reading the recovery files does not work either. I get the message that it can't read the recovery file.


Ask a consequence, I can't use the laptop anymore. Resetting the PC using the repair functions that start when booting the machine does not work either.


How can this problem get solved ? This is really bad behavior of Windows 10 Pro.

Windows 8.1 PRO unable to unlock Bitlocked drive

Can you take a screen shot of the bitlocker window?

Also, what happens when you highlight the drive in This PC and go to the Manage tab? There should be some bitlocker options there.

 

Windows 7 Pro to Windows 10 and Bitlocker

I have Windows 7 Pro and need Bitlocker. If I upgrade from Windows 7 Pro, would the Windows 10 version I get include Bitlocker?

Or is there another way to get Bitlocker, other than buying the Ultimate version of Windows 7, which seems to me like a bad option since I'd be paying to upgrade an obsolete OS.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
