^{* Old thread, reactivated, regarding Bitlocker plugin and Win7PE... *}

Bitlocker plugin is installed (Win7ultimate-32bit base) and working only for decryption.

Management like changing key/ password or encrypting a new partition/ drive does not work for me.

There seems to be kown issues for Win8.1PE-64bit:

I think that It is better not to add Bitlocker in the control panel, its management is not complete.
The plugin for WinPE is essentially to unlock a drive, not to fully manage BitLocker.

Same for Win7PE? Any chance to get it fully functionel?

Thx, best regards...
