Windows 10: How to retrieve encrypted data from a NVMe SSD drive without Bitlocker key

Now when the data recover software what was available with the IT Admin was run and received 270GB of data which is not recognizable. Anyone can help how to recover the data now.

How to recover data from bitlocker encrypted NVMe SSD with the recovery key

HI

I have a crashed machine with bitlocker encrypted NVMe SSD drive and I also have the recovery key.

is there a method to recover data from it without taking out the drive from the machine?

 

Data Recovery in Bitlocker Encrypted Drive

Today my home laptop system asked for bit locker password after booting up (before login). Bit locker encryption was not enabled by me. However, to make the computer usable, C drive was formatted since there was no critical data in C Drive. However D Drive is still encrypted.



Kindly confirm

1. Can Bitlocker Encryption be enabled without intervention of the user?
   
2. Where to find the bitlocker encryption key?
   
3. How to recover the Data in Encrypted D Drive?
   

 

SSDs and Bitlocker Encryption

Seen that too and was just wanting to know if this works as expected. Also still trying to understand the difference between a Self-Encrypting Hard Drive and an Encrypted Hard Drive for Windows. All new to me. Just buying a system with the following drives and trying to work out how I will encrypt them. As I am buying a new PC to run Windows 11 (as I understand it updated including a TPM) I was hoping that hardware encrytption of these drives could be relied upon.

• Samsung 970 EVO Plus 1TB M.2 NVMe SSD (3500/3300)
