Missing Bitlocker after SSD upgrade in W11 Home

Hi, I have sent a PC to a local shop to swap the existing HDD for a cloned SSD.

The PC is a Dell system which came with Windows 10 Home and Bitlocker encryption enabled for both the installed drives (I have swapped only one of them). Last year I had updated it to Windows 11 and of course nothing about Bitlocker changed.

The new drive didn't come with Bitlocker enabled (as the local shop didn't proceed to encrypt it since cloning had already taken longer than expected) but I thought I could just take some time and encrypt the new drive; instead, Bitlocker seems to be disabled for both drives (as shown by the manage-bde -status CMD command) and now it seems like I cannot use Bitlocker encryption on W11 Home even though it clearly was enabled before installing the new drive.

Does anyone know if this is all fine? Was Bitlocker removed from the Home version of Windows between 10 and 11? This is kinda not ok microsoft

Thanks :)
