It seems like you are encountering difficulties with BitLocker on your main partition during a Windows 10 installation. Here are some steps you can try to resolve this issue:

Method 1: Disable BitLocker from WinRE (Windows Recovery Environment)​

1. Boot from your Windows 10 installation USB.
2. Proceed with the installation until you reach the "Choose an option" screen. Here, select "Troubleshoot" > "Advanced options" > "Command Prompt."
3. In the Command Prompt, type the following command and press Enter:

   cmd manage-bde -unlock C: -RecoveryPassword YOUR_RECOVERY_PASSWORD

   Replace YOUR_RECOVERY_PASSWORD with your actual 48-digit recovery password.
4. Once the drive is unlocked, run this command to disable BitLocker:

   cmd manage-bde -off C:

5. Exit the Command Prompt and restart your system to see if BitLocker is successfully disabled.

   Method 2: Clean Install Windows 10​

   If you are unable to disable BitLocker, you might need to consider performing a clean installation of Windows 10.
6. Boot from your Windows 10 installation USB.
7. Proceed with the installation until you reach the "Upgrade" or "Custom" installation screen.
8. At the partition selection step, delete the BitLocker-protected partition and create a new one for the Windows 10 installation.
9. Complete the installation process to set up a fresh copy of Windows 10. If you still encounter issues, you might need to seek assistance from Microsoft Technical Support or a professional to help you resolve the BitLocker-related problem during the Windows 10 installation.
