Ok I picked it and it’s telling me to
Back up my Bitlocker recovery key and suspend Bitlockerencryptioni. The OS before updating BIOS. Then there’s a yes or No option.

As far as I know I don’t have bitlocker turned on.

I’m using a 32GB. It’s the smallest I had.
I don’t know how to go to the cab file.
Perhaps the one that was highlighted was the wrong one ?


Use the arrow keys to scroll up and down in the BIOS.
Choose the 29311MB drive and tell us what files you see on there.


For future reference... buy a cheap $10 mouse at Walmart for tasks like this.

As far as I know I don’t have bitlocker turned on.

Not to worry... mine gives the same warning and I've never used or intend to use Bitlocker.
You can just ignore that. :-)



For folks that DO use Bitlocker... they need to backup their Bitlocker key before flashing the BIOS

I saw the cab file and picked it and hit enter. Now I’m at the question with the bitlocker.

If your SURE Bitlocker is not enabled...
Just ignore that and continue. You're almost there. :-)

The BIOS will take about 2-3 minutes to flash. You should see a progress bar when it starts.

If your sure that Bitlocker isn't enabled, then yeah... answer NO and it will move to the next step.


You're gonna feel like Super Girl after you're done with this. :D

I can't SEE your screen. But there is a way to skip the Bitlocker thing.
You can use F10 to save and exit the BIOS and go into Windows and type: Bitlocker in the Taskbar search box.

That will bring up the Bitlocker settings. and you can check if Bitlocker is ON or not.



Maybe post a screen shot of your Bitlocker screen in Windows.

I'm on Win 11 HOME so I may not be seeing the same thing you are.
Mine looks like this...

Well if NO didn't work... try YES. :-)


Also, I added to post #73, you can get your Bitlocker key there, (if Bitlocker is enabled)

I just flashed my BIOS last night and got the same question. Whatever I answered, it got me past that question.
I think I answered NO. But I've flashed so many BIOSes, that I don't really remember.
I just click my way through.



I seem to remember that some people were saying that Bitlocker was automatically enabled on Win 11 Pro ??
