How does restore & backup work with bitlocker?

Let say i want to encrypt my c:\ drive with bitlocker and make a system image from it, i first unlock the drive right...(if not set to automatic) then make the image... but how does a restore work??? if the PC does not boot anymore? and i got the image on a external HD does any restore software work?, my question is this how is the restore process? is it like i find the image with the restore software... type the decryption key > restore the image > turn on bitlocker again or? i really have no clue hope someone can help and explain it to me!

In order to restore the hard disk drive, you can follow the directions here: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/...ack-up-restore Essentially you need a bootable media (DVD or USB). I use a fresh install of Windows 10 to boot into rescue mode or better known Repair Mode. Next, if you fully encrypt your hard disk drive with BitLocker, then create a system image backup, the backup will have the same password key you used in BitLocker. Finally, once the backup is restored, there shouldn't be a problem restoring from backup and you will be prompted to enter the same password key to boot the computer.

Thank you
