How to recover data from Bitlocker encrypted partition in Windows 8?

Updated on September 4, 2024 by Admin to BitLocker Data Recovery

For security reasons, I've been using BitLocker to encrypt the data partition. Recently I accidentally deleted some important files from this partition, I immediately stopped using this partition and tried to recover the data using data recovery software. I've tried several popular data recovery software that claims to recover data from BitLocker encrypted partition, but none of them helped me recover the deleted files. What I want to know is, is it possible to recover data from a BitLocker encrypted partition in Windows 8?

As an encryption tool in Windows 8 to protect important data, BitLocker Drive Encryption is really safe and effective, but it increases the difficulty of recovering data after losing data.

Fortunately, the BitLocker encryption data recovery algorithm unique to Hasleo Data Recovery can help users recover data from a BitLocker encrypted partition in Windows 8. It's so simple and effective, you just have to follow the steps that are written in the instructions below:
