Bitlocker conflict on second fixed drive
Hi
I've just replaced my laptop. Both old and new had / have two fixed drives - C drive with the OS one and then a second fixed local drive (mapped as K) that I want to use for backups.
On my old laptop I had Bitlocker full drive encryption working for both, using the instructions at
How to Turn On or Off BitLocker for Fixed Data Drives in Windows 10
and
How to Turn On or Off Auto-unlock for BitLocker Drive in Windows 10
I've succesfully enabled full disk encryption on my new C drive (including setting PIN to unlock on boot), but when I try and turn Bitlocker on on my K drive I get this error message:
I've tried searching here and elsewhere but haven't managed to find anything that matches my issue exactly. If it helps my old laptop didn't have a TPM module, but my new one does.
Hope someone can help me, please.
Many thanks
