  • Bitlocker partition access?

    From Mike Halmarack@21:1/5 to All on Mon Jan 9 11:31:37 2023
    I downloaded minitool partiton wizard to split the 256GB drive on a
    newly acquired, refurbished Surface Pro.
    I'm shown that 237GB of the drive is labeled as C:(BitLocker) and is
    shown as being 100% full.
    Is this going to be tricky in terms of access and division?

    I recommend changing the partitions in Windows. It is possible to do so
    even if the partition is being accessed.

    I just overwrote the lot with a new Win 10 installation.
    Having to give my life history to complete was a new one on me though.

    You can get round that fairly easily in Win 10, more difficult in Win 11
    as set out up-thread.
