Question Unable to decrypt files

[LindeRKV]

I am trying to recover files from my extHDD that I had encrypted on a different system. I have encryption key backed up but nowhere does it let me enter/use the recovery key. Changing permissions does not do any good either.

Anyone have any guidance as to how would I decrypt these files on different PC if I have recovery key?

What/how was the data originally encrypted?

You have to stay at the same system. NTFS encryption is bounded to the specific user profile (ID), and that does only exist on one computer.

I encrypted it on another laptop that I have no access to anymore, using BitLocker in windows 10.

Nothing can be done here.
