BitLocker Drive Encryption is a full-disk encryption software developed by Microsoft for Windows. Unfortunately, Microsoft has not partnered with Apple to provide a Mac version of BitLocker, so we cannot open BitLocker drives on Mac computers. To access BitLocker-encrypted drives on a Mac, we need a third-party BitLocker solution for macOS.
