If you formatted, its all gone. And even if it wasnt, you use Bitlocker to decrypt your files as well.

you dont need any software. just let windows do it for you. just attach your bitlocker drive to your newly formatted laptop as an external drive. you can buy a SATA3.0 to USB3.0 adapter. and attach it to your laptop with your bitlocker drive. in the windows explorer, you will ahve the "unlock drive" option beside it. then if you dont know the password. just follow the on screen recovery options.

if somehow you dont see it in windows explorer, there are command line options you can run in windows.

If Bitlocker were that easy to get around, then it would be of very limited value. If you don't have the recovery key, then you are out of luck.
