Windows 10: In my laptop window 11 pro is here but bitlocker is not showing. I am trying all things but...

This is showing

:)

 

Is there a difference with Bitlocker on Windows 11 Pro, or the M3 Bitlocker Loader?

I have Windows 11 Home and want to install Bitlocker. Every post I've seen says you must upgrade to Windows 11 Pro in order to get Bitlocker. But I've found something called M3 Bitlocker Loader available from M3 software for $19.95 "half-price.

Is this Bitlocker Loader Legitimate? Is it the same thing as Bitlocker on Windows 11 Pro?

Thanks.

 

Windows 8.1 PRO unable to unlock Bitlocked drive

I used a Bitlocker in Windows 8 PRO to Lock my Internal SATA Drive. I have formatted my PC twice in past and I was able to unlock it after each fresh installation of Windows 8.

But Recently I did a fresh Installation of Windows using same Software and CDKEY. This time I did upgraded to Windows 8.1 including all the latest patches.
Problem is When I click on my Drive, Windows give me the message " DO YOU WANT TO FORM IT" When I do click Cancel. I do the following message "The
volume does not contain a recognized file system....."
Here is the screenshot of error message

Disk management shows a healthy Drive:

I have done fresh installation of windows several times before but never had this issue. I was always able to restore security settings and unlock my drive using BITLOCKER.

I have tried to unlock the drive with just Windows 8 pro and the problem persists.

Additional Info:
- Control Panel > BitLocker, Software no longer shows my drive under it.
- Hardware specs remain the same before or after the issue.

Any tech support would be great.

 

Windows 11 Pro Bitlocker And Downgrade To Windows 10?

I am going to most likely purchase a dell xps 15 9520. The default option is windows 11 home. I see that if I want to upgrade to windows 11 pro, it is about 60 dollars more on dell site


My current old dell xps 15 9550, I use windows 10 pro. I like pro because I want to be able to use bitlocker to encrypt my laptop. Thus I read only windows pro allows you to do this. I need pro in order to use bitlocker right? I read online you still have encryption on windows 11 home but not called bitlocker? I read that with windows 11 home, there is still encryption? But isn't bitlocker encryption so it isn't that strong or something? So how would windows 11 home look when you turn on your computer? It ask you for a password or pin right?


My questions are



1. Upgrade To Windows 11 Pro for about 60 dollars more as oppose to buy home and upgrade yourself as I read online its $99 to go from windows 11 home to windows 11 pro? So always upgrade it if you can?



2. I have a cheap laptop I bought earlier this year where it uses windows 11 home. I rarely used it and it is a cheap celeron slow computer. I do not like how it looks as there isn't a task bar but not only that, if you have multiple chrome tabs, you don''t see it on the taskbar like you do in windows 10 pro. Is there a way to fix this or is this how windows 11 is and you can't fix that? That to me is a huge issue because I do not like how there is only one chrome icon in the bottom middle of the screen and you need to highlight it to see which chrome tab you want to click on.



3. If I buy windows 11 home or windows 11 pro, can i downgrade to windows 10 or windows 10 pro? I still prefer windows 10 pro. So if i get windows 11 pro, i can downgrade to windows 10 pro. If i get windows 11 home, i get only downgrade to windows 10 home?
