Almost all cloning software (Macrium, Symantec, Easus, AOMEI, Acronis, etc) will clone a bitlocker drive IF it’s unlocked, with the resulting clone being bootable, but not bitlockered. You then need to encrypt it. A far faster option is to use Casper Secure Disc 4.2, which enables you to clone the Bitlocker drive while locked to another drive, and the result is a bootable clone that is encrypted with bitlocker and the same PIN and registration key. It’s fast, done within windows, and you can keep working while it clones. I’ve done it with Win10 x64 successfully. The problem: I used a trial version which does not allow resizing, and when my 30 days are up, if I want to keep using it, it’s <gulp> $129. Not sure if it’s worth the convenience of saving me to the time to simply clone and encrypt the target in two steps vs buying the software. Nonetheless, this is the only option I’ve seen that can fully clone a PGP or Bitlocker drive to another encrypted drive.
