Boot Linux on Windows PC with BitLocker Enabled

[Dr. Nathan Parker]

I don't think there is, but is there a way to boot Linux on a Windows PC that has BitLocker enabled on the boot drive?

 

I guess I could Live USB Boot or use a VM?

 

Thanks!

You could always turn off Bitlocker if not really needed.  Apparently there is a way to do dual boot with Bitlocker enabled as well.  Haven't looked at this procedure in detail but hope it helps.

The PC has an SD card slot, so I wonder if I could boot it from an SD card.

For testing purpose, a (decent) USB3 stick (or better: an NVME external enclosure) will work better than an SD card.

Good to know. Thanks!
