Re: recovering abandoned Latitude 7430 laptop, bitlocker trouble



I've got the W10 installation media loaded on a clean USB stick. As to the drivers, the only download I see is for a *.exe. How do I extract the drivers? Or, do I just load the *.exe on the USB? Sorry, clueless here :-)...

I've inherited a Dell Latitude 7430 with W10 that has Bitlocker installed. I have no documentation at all, so no recovery passwords.

I want to format and re-install Windows with no Bitlocker. I've gone to BIOS and made the USB with the install the first boot option, and that works. But when following the prompts to install, when I am asked what drive to format the option area is empty. It suggests loading drivers.

I have gone to Command Prompt and am able to see the C: drive and it's four partitions there.

I can see the Bitlocker ID in Command Prompt...
