Are Norton products compatible w/BitLocker encrypted drives?

Are Norton products compatible with BitLocker encrypted drives?

@DANIELM WEISS Following up to ask if we can assist further.

if i recall correct bitlocker should be on by default ( can be turned off) by windows ( windows 11 and 10 not sure when it became more a default on think 10)

a few months ago there was a microsoft update forget the kb # addressing bitlocker , which for many caused some issues with a random blue screen of enter your bitlocker number etc... ( when you turn on device)

 

not my words below but may help some

 

Hi mgm71

With regards to Bitlocker, that is just a drive encryption option, which is different functionality to Norton Anti-virus and is another layer or protection, should your PC be stolen, but has nothing to do with protection from malware on your PC . . .

Hello. My personal usage with bit-locker encryption and Norton "backup" is that Norton doesn't play well with that. As far as running Norton on an encrypted drive OS I have never had issues doing so. Just keep in mind that Bitlocker SHOULD provide you with its own recovery key which you will need in the event of a drive recovery.
