Work PCs are windows 10 premium which has bitlocker

Home PC is windows 10 Home which does not. Microsoft doesnt allow you to buy it even if you want to.

Unable to unlock flash drive at home

Any remedy?

I thought you could unlock it no problem (with the key), it would just be in read-only mode?

I thought lower tiers of windows could use bitlocker volumes but not actually encrypt them but i could be wrong. If so i'd guess paying for the windows license upgrade may be your best bet. I know there exists software for linux that can mount bitlocker encrypted volumes so theoretically you could go that route but im guessing that you dont.
