Hi [NAME]  thank you for sharing update.  On the newer Alienware Windows 11 PC visit BitLocker Drive Encryption and turn off BitLocker on Alienware 17 R4 drives.  [IMAGE]
Hello guys 1st time poster so be gentle. Having stripped down my R17 R4 to replace a noisy fan. Warranty expired November 2018. I had a few issues mostly resolved with the help of searching these forums, I am hopefully on my last issue now.Laptop was down for about a week while I fixed issues of my rebuild one of which was breaking the connector on my bios battery so I have installed a new one now which I assume is why I now have the bitlocker popup. I cannot access my Microsoft account though to get my code (assuming one is saved there). Long story but basically I'm not receiving email verification codes.However plugging my SSD into my other Alienware I can still access all my files through file explorer! What exactly is bitlocker for then? Since I have access to the hard drive is there anyway to find my code? I have been Googling for a couple of hours now but getting nowhere?
17 R4, Bitlocker issue
