To upgrade your version of Windows 7 Ultimate to a version that supports BitLocker, you will need to purchase and install Windows 7 Ultimate x64. You can purchase this from retailers such as Amazon or Microsoft. Once you have obtained the installation media, follow these steps:
1. Insert the installation media and restart your computer.
2. When prompted, press any key to boot from the installation media.
3. Follow the on-screen instructions to perform a custom installation of Windows 7 Ultimate x64. This will erase all data on your computer, so make sure to back up your data before proceeding.
4. After the installation is complete, you can check whether BitLocker is available on your system by following the steps I mentioned in my previous response.
Regarding your BitLocker-encrypted flash drive, you will need the password or recovery key to access the contents. Unfortunately, without the BitLocker recovery key or password, there is no known way to unlock the drive.
If you have the recovery key, you can use it to unlock the drive as follows:
1. Insert the BitLocker-encrypted flash drive into your computer.
2. Open the Control Panel, then click on "System and Security", and select "BitLocker Drive Encryption."
3. Click on "Unlock drive" next to the BitLocker-encrypted flash drive.
4. Select "Enter the recovery key" and type in the 48-digit recovery key.
5. Click on "Unlock" to unlock the BitLocker-encrypted flash drive.
If you do not have the password or recovery key, you will need to format the flash drive, which will erase all of its contents.
