Windows 10: New PC with Win11.Home came with several drives encripted with Bitlocker, but no apparent...

How to I manage them...remove encryption...add encryption. Can I back up these drives in the encrypted state? Can I image the drive? I read that Bitlocker is not offered on the Home edition of Win11, but the disk mgt software says the drive is encrypted with Bitlocker. The c: drive is encrypted, and my D: drives with my data is also encrypted...I don't want to lose my date on the D drive!When I search for "Manage Bitlocker" in windows, only web sites come up. There is no "Manage Bitlocker" on any context menus. Any comments on this situation? THanks

New Hard Drive Upgrade - Bitlocker wont unlock

I have a new laptop (an HP that came with a platter hard drive that is very slow). I bought a new 1 Tb SKhynix Gold and used the Hynix software to clone the old drive to the new SSD. Now I'm getting stuck at the bitlocker screen. I went to aka.ms and wrote the new bitlocker key down for the drive that's in the PC now (being careful to identify the correct drive by its identification key). I can't get past the bitlocker screen as it refuses to accept the key listed on the bitlocker page for this PC and the new drive. Does anyone have a workaround for this?

will this pc run win11

thanks that amd processor came from the listing it may be incorrect as suggested here. i do not want win11 but in a few years we all may not have much choice. so because i'm looking for the all in one type pc because for one i do not have space for a tower and where we use them we have space for laptops but the screen size is starting to be just to small. old age eyes if you know what i mean. we both now have to use the enlargement with ctrl and the scroll wheel to make text larger. so because i could not find that processor i asked here just in case i missed it as well, it kind of sounds like it is not there and so these pcs are not ready to run win11 if that happens to be the next OS requirement. thanks
