    I need help with BitLocker!

    Hi, I recently tried device encryption because I wanted to see what it does, and now I don’t have access to one of my drives. The situation is that I turned the encryption, but when I tried to turn it off it said that I need BitLocker. I have Windows Home which does not have BitLocker. I managed to turn the encryption off with commands but now one of my drives is totally locked and I have no access to it.

    This is what it says btw:
    BitLocker (H: )
    The BitLocker encryption for this drive is incompatible with the version of Windows you are using. Try opening the drive using a newer version of Windows.

    Please help I have some important stuff on that thing.
