When we insert a BitLocker encrypted drive into a computer running Linux operating system, you will find that Linux cannot open the BitLocker encrypted drive. This is because BitLocker is Microsoft's proprietary technology, and Microsoft does not provide a solution for accessing BitLocker encrypted drives in Linux. Fortunately, we can still use third-party solutions to open BitLocker drives in Linux, such as dislocker or Hasleo BitLocker Anywhere For Linux.
dislocker is a command line program to help users access BitLocker encrypted drives in Linux. If you are familiar with Linux terminal commands and Linux file system mount commands, you can use the dislocker to open and access BitLocker encrypted drives in Linux. If you are not familiar with Linux terminal commands or you are used to working with graphical user interface programs, Hasleo BitLocker Anywhere For Linux is your best choice.

Step 4. Enter the password or recovery key, then click "Mount" button to mount the drive.
