Check if the settings can be adjusted to disable BitLocker or Secure Boot without requiring a passcode.

If you haven't saved it to Azure and don't have access to your earlier version, then it's not possible.

Do you have the previous computer? That password needs to be kept with your Microsoft account (really risky!).

Unfortunately I don’t have the previous version left; it’s gone already. I sold it, but what if I erase everything completely?

Do you have an unencrypted copy of the information? If yes, then yes, we can reformat it. I thought your worry was about retrieving the raw data.

I'm only focusing on removing that BitLocker solution.

Add the drive to your fresh installation or another machine using Windows partitioning utilities, or run DiskPart CLI if the graphical interface restricts you.

If Windows employs a protection feature to safeguard BitLocker, try using a Linux live ISO. Linux definitely won’t worry about it at all.

You can simply start from a USB drive and perform a clean installation of Windows on the same disk, erasing everything you have before. The process sounds straightforward despite the loss of your previous data.
