Windows 10: BitLocker set to AutoUnlock on Windows 10 Home, how to remove?

I got this rather strange problem with BitLocker. I have a WD Elements 2TB external HDD that is BitLocker Encrypted on Windows 10 Pro on my Desktop PC. Now, probably because for convenience I previously set it to auto-unlock as to not have to always input my password whenever I plugged it in my Laptop which has Windows 10 Home. Now I want to remove that auto-unlock feature due to security reasons in the event that both my laptop and external HDD were to be somewhat be lost or stolen together (hopefully not). It would be easy if BitLocker was only available on Home version of Windows 10.

How do I go about doing that? I hate to have BitLocker Turn off, then re-enable again, as this will take a minimum of 12-hours to complete base on my experience with just the half of my 2Tb HDD full. An easier way would be nice.

Thank you.

Bit Locker disable problem

To my knowledge Bitlocker is compatible on all Windows PCs. Exception: If you protected a drive with the new Bitlocker encryption on Windows 10 then you cannot unlock it on a Windows 7 PC. I can open my Bitlocker protected drives on other Windows 10 PCs.
But I choose to protect them with a password since I don't have the TPM chip in my PCs and I use
Bitlocker to Go for removable drives.

When you are finished with a drive protected by bitlocker you don't lock it before powering down or removing it. Bitlocker is not available on Windows 10 Home so maybe you can't open it on a Home edition PC (not sure about that).

How to set up BitLocker on a pc without TPM

I am trying to set up Bitlocker whole disk encryption on my Windows 10 Home computer. The "help" keeps running me in circles without resolving my question. Can I even use Bitlocker with Windows 10 Home Edition?

I've read the links you provided. Unfortunately this is where my problem lies. Windows 10 Home doesn't have BitLocker. All encryption/decryption has to be done on my Desktop PC. Is there any other solution?

 

I already tried those methods, unfortunately none of them worked as my laptop is a Windows 10 Home version.
