  1. Disabling Bitlocker Encryption on Windows Home


    Hello,


    I am trying to dual-boot Windows 10 and Ubuntu 20.04 on my Dell G5 laptop and I currently cannot do this because I am getting a message from Ubuntu to turn off BitLocker encryption in order to install the Ubuntu OS. My laptop currently has Windows 10 Home, so I cannot find 'Bitlocker Encryption' in my control panel. Is there another way of turning off the BitLocker encryption?

    :)
