    BitLocker Problems


    I added bitlocker to my flashdrive using Windows 7 Ultimate, then I switched to pro and now the icon in control panel is not there to remove the bitlocker. Is there a program that takes it off for me? What should I do?

    I am afraid you have a problem. Bitlocker is only available in enterprise and ultimate. To turn it off you would have to re-install ultimate, turn it off then install Pro

    Thank you for your reply.

    I just took all my data off the flash drive, and reformatted. That seemed to work. Thanks.
