BitLocker was introduced to Windows from Windows Vista, but it was not used by a large number of users until Windows 7 was released. Of course, this is thanks to the rapid popularity of Windows 7 and the powerful security of BitLocker. In Windows 7, BitLocker uses the AES-CBC 128/256-bit encryption algorithm to encrypt all data on the disk, no one will not be able to access any valid data on the disk without entering the correct password, so it can effectively prevent the leakage of important data. This brings great benefits to data protection, but it also poses great difficulty in recovering data from BitLocker encrypted drives. The common data Recovery software reads the sectors on the drive and then analyzes the data according to the different characteristics of the various file systems to complete the data recovery. Because the sectors are already encrypted with BitLocker, normal data recovery software will not be able to recover data from BitLocker encrypted drives.
