USB encrypted with BitLocker?

[iphonefreak450]

I’m thinking about purchasing a MBA but my USB stick is encrypted with BitLocker from my Windows machine.

Will I be able to decrypt the USB on a MacBook to access my data?

Also, what if I encrypt my USB stick on the MacBook? Will that work on a Windows machine?

If these methods are not cross compatible with any of these, then I will use those Kingston encrypted USB sticks as they support MacOS and Windows.

There are some 3rd party tools to decrypt bitlocker on mac os but I wouldn't trust them.

Not sure about filevault on windows even with 3rd party tools, but it is doubtful.

Alright, then my best option is to order those encrypted USB sticks from Kingston as there compatible with MacOS as well.

Veracrypt would be a good open source option. Cross platform.

Run up an ARM windows VM and open it from there?

You can download M3 Bitlocker (https://www.m3datarecovery.com/mac-bitlocker/) for the Mac. I had it installed on all my Mac since ~2015, and copied it over to my M1 mini with no issues.
