I have a drive encrypted with BitLocker and I'm wondering if turning off BitLocker will automatically decrypt the drive or if there's a separate process I need to follow to decrypt it.

After selecting "System and Security," the user should then click on "BitLocker Drive Encryption." This option specifically deals with the encryption of drives, including the ability to turn it on or off, making it the direct route to disabling BitLocker for a particular drive.

Once in the BitLocker Drive Encryption settings, the user must locate the drive on which they wish to disable BitLocker. This can be done by scrolling through the list of available drives and identifying the one in question.
