Many linux installers give you the option of using the free space in your Windows drive for a linux partition (Linux mint is one example). Then you would have what is called a dual boot setup. It means every time you start your computer, you can choose Linux or Windows.
Then you disable bitlocker in your windows partition, and you can access all the files there from linux.
Nah, decryption is easy because it’s based on standards.
But you’re right about the NTFS support. I only use it to read data from external drives. I tried to use it to have a dual boot setup with a shared Steam library but that had some issues.
I’ve since completely dumped Windows, problem solved.

You can access bitlocker drives from Linux too, it’s a bit of a pain but all you need is the recovery key.

Good to know. Though with how flaky regular NTFS support is, I expect this to be worse still.
