We moved our mediaserver to Windows 10 since the previous version kept taking too long to start. The old system was Windows 7 Professional, and now we took advantage of the free upgrade feature—though we did lose files and programs, I understand. Recently, this happened again: we hadn’t used BitLocker on Windows 7 before, and it wasn’t enabled either. The standard password needed to access the PC won’t unlock these drives. The recovery and HP tools partitions came from my dad’s old laptop hard drive (which we never took out after stealing files). What’s going on? How do we recover our family photos, media, and other data besides using our SugarSync backup? Help!

Access the recovery mode and reset to Windows 7. This isn't a typical system restore process.

Returning to your previous operating system will be the quickest and simplest method to retrieve your data. BitLock cannot be compromised—it uses hardware-level encryption. None of these software solutions will function. Setting up BitLock demands a TPM module, which stores all encryption on that chip. If you lack a TPM, a USB flash drive can serve as an alternative. Upon startup, it needs the USB "key" to unlock the system; without it, the boot process will fail. BitLock offers a backup option—a long random password—so you can enter it if needed. If you believe spending another four hours is a waste, proceed with the intricate steps you're currently taking.

The older operating system might have been compatible with the drives, allowing access. Going back could restore that compatibility.

You haven't worked with BitLocker before, and it wasn't turned on. After upgrading to Windows 10, everything changed. Going back to an older system should remove the encryption.
