    External USB HDD drive bitlocker encrypted without a key


    Summary. I cannot access my external USB disk drive that has been encrypted by bitlocker.Backround. I am using a MS Surface Pro 6. Originally it was running Win10 Home. For years, I have been using an external USB disk drive to backup important photos and documents. Recently, in the last 6 months or so, my Surface finally automagically without my knowledge updated to Windows 11 Home. Just recently, I tried plugging in my external USB HDD and now windows is prompting me to plug in the USB bitlocker key to unlock the HDD. I was NEVER given a USB bitlocker key nor the option to create one.
