    Hi Yanamaddi Sravanthi:

    Suspend BitLocker Before Upgrade (Recommended)

    Open an elevated Command Prompt. Run:

    manage-bde -status

    → Confirm BitLocker is ON.

    Suspend protection:

    manage-bde -protectors -disable C: -RebootCount 2

    This disables PIN prompt for the next 2 restarts, enough to complete the upgrade.

    Start the Windows 11 upgrade again.

    After the upgrade finishes, re-enable BitLocker:

    manage-bde -protectors -enable C:
