A friend of mien has a vista 64bit laptop ultimate with the hdd encrypted via bit-locker.
He wants me to upgrade it to Windows 7 Ultimate. I dislike doing upgrades and want to do a format and fresh install.
My question is do I need to decrypt the drive via bit-locker in order to do a clean installation of windows 7? Or because it is software encryption I will just be able to boot from a windows 7 CD and do a full fresh install as normal?
P.s. reason for posting this here is that I think a lot more enterprises will of used bit-locker before as it is not a home feature.
