A friend bought a HP PC running Windows 11 Home. I discovered that the system C SSD and the data D HDD have BitLocker turned on.
QUESTION-1: Does Macrium Reflect Free Version 8 do image backup and restore of BitLocked drives successfully? (We backed up both drives using Macrium Reflect Free Version 8 image backups successfully. But I've not tested if Macrium's restore will restore BitLocker encrypted drives to their original BitLocked state.)
QUESTION-2: I want to turn BitLocker off on both drives. Googling, I see how to turn BitLocker off to decrypt the drives. My question is what to do to insure that BitLocker is never turned back on. Is just turning BitLocker off and decrypting the drives all that's needed? Or is there an additional step to insure that BitLocker is never turned back on?
