Are you sure it is Windows 7 Home Premium ? because that version of windows does not support bitlocker?

Did you make a backup of the key? We arent going to help you bypass it as doing so is against the forum rules. Heres more info on the recovery key.

I locked it using Windows 10.. Then I installed Windows 7 HP.. Yes, I have the recovery key..

Windows 7 Home Premium does not support BitLocker at all, even if you have a recovery key. You must have Windows 7 Ultimate or Enterprise if you wish to use BitLocker.

Would Windows 7 be able to decrypt a drive encrypted by windows 10? Are the encryption protocols backwards compatible?

Yes, the BitLocker protocol has not changed.
