The new XTS-AES encryption algorithm is not compatible with old Windows version. Windows 7/8.1 uses AES encryption algorithm, while Windows 10 uses XTS-AES. A few common causes include out-dated drivers, bugs in your Windows that makes BitLocker unavailable, the difference of the encryption algorithm as well as your Windows versions. There are several reasons why that error was happened. Is there a possibility to access and recover data on this drive? Please try to open the drive with a newer version of Windows' when I plugged in my BitLocker encrypted flash drive into my computer. I received the error message 'The BitLocker encryption on this drive is not compatible with your version of Windows.
