    I was wondering if it was possible to remove bitlocker while not being a local administrator. I am fine with a total system wipe, the computer is unable to open command prompt due to the fact it's managed by an external network(?). The computer has absurd capabilities (32gb ram) and this is basically the only reason I'm not scrapping it for a different computer. I'm a computer scrub so understandable terms please, I'm not currently using the laptop nor am I near it, I can follow up when I am but I'm simply not home

    Need to turn off Bitlocker to install Windows 10

    Hi,

    We suggest doing the following steps again to resolve the issue. To complete the procedure, make sure that you have the following information:

    • You must be able to provide administrative credentials.
    • The drive must be BitLocker-protected.
    To suspend BitLocker Drive Encryption on an operating system drive, please follow the steps below:

    • Click Start, click Control Panel, click
      System and Security, and then click BitLocker Drive Encryption.
    • Click Suspend Protection for the operating system drive.
    • A message is displayed, informing you that your data will not be protected while BitLocker is suspended and asking if you want to suspend BitLocker Drive Encryption.
    • Click Yes to continue and suspend BitLocker on the drive.

    Let us know how it goes.
